5.8.2022 - Remarkably Bright Creatures

 Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins Ecco Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this amazing debut novel by Shelby Van Pelt - 5 remarkably bright stars!

Tova has lost both her husband and only son.  To fill the hours in her day, she works at the local aquarium at night, doing cleaning.  She has become friendly with Marcellus, the Giant Pacific Octopus who has remarkable abilities to understand humans.  Marcellus has figured out the mystery of Tova's son's death and is determined to help Tova.

I can't say enough about this book - it will give you all the quirky, heartwarming vibes you need in your life right now.  The story is full of wonderful characters who exemplify the meaning of taking care of each other, as well as resolving past issues.  I couldn't put it down and was sad when it was over!
