SO CUTE! A perfect beach read. Plenty of grief, confusion, and small mysteries to guide us through the most unique narration: from an octopus and two humans paired by some unknown thread. One of the most believable character development arcs I have ever seen. Of course no talk of classism, racism, etc. but she doesn't hide from some ugly truths nonetheless.
