When I started this book, I never thought I would love it so much.  I spent much of the book crying happy, hopeful tears.  Such a heartwarming, funny, sad, inspiring story.

Tova, Cameron, and Marcellus are all beautiful, complex characters with an awesome cast of supporting characters.

This is a story about loss, healing, and finding something you never knew you could have.  Tova and Cameron are finally brought together by the intelligent Marcellus the octopus.  He uses his clever ways to piece together the past for Tova.

I never imagined the POV of an octopus could be so beautiful, but they really are remarkably bright creatures.
