Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

emotional funny hopeful mysterious reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

the octopus bits were frankly a bit ridiculous, even with my usually vast ability to suspend disbelief. why would an octopus understand human genetics. or know what a cuckold is. what. minus 2 stars bc those parts completely broke me out of the flow of the story  

otherwise, the found family aspect (is that the term for non-queer versions of this?) was really sweet, and I liked the mystery of it all. cute read! the writing felt nice on the eyes
