Remarkably Bright Creatures

My feelings towards this book are complicated. I struggled through the first 100 pages. I didn't care enough about the characters and I kept setting the book down. Once I started to care about them though, all of my feelings towards the book changed. I think I cried like 6 times in the last 50 pages. Marcellus was the puppiest. I loved him and Tova and Ethan. When it switches around and he calls Tova and Cameron “remarkably bright creatures, “ I lost it. I did feel a little annoyed every time Marcellus' arms were called tentacles. I feel like that is the fact that is most commonly told at aquariums that house octopuses. Regardless of the slow start and inaccurate octopus knowledge, this book is still one of my favorites for this year.
