Remarkably Bright Creatures

4,5⭐

A marvellous tale of dealing with change, connection between living creatures and pushing through hard times with a very special protagonist.

First of all. An octopus as one of the main characters AND chapters from his POV? I was so excited when I read the first one from Marcellus's point of view in first person. I love this book just for that concept and giving Marcellus an actual voice of his own.

The characters were nicely fleshed out and diverse, at least considering ages and lifepaths. I apprecited all of them, I liked reading the stories of older people like Tove and Ethan,but I especially Aunt Jeanne, the sailor-mouthed old lady still getting some and I wish we would've seen more of her.

The plot was nicely balanced between the mystery and the inner workings and struggles of Tove and Cameron especially.

I read this in one day and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Dive deep into the story if you happen to swim across it :)
