I absolutely loved Remarkably Bright Creatures! It was such a heartwarming, unique story, and I completely fell in love with Marcellus. His perspective added so much charm and humor, and I found myself rooting for all the characters. The mix of grief, second chances, and unexpected friendships made this such a special read. Definitely one that sticks with you! Can’t wait for a movie to come out!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To be clear a 3 star rating for me doesn’t mean I dislike a book. As a whole I found this book sweet and quirky although a bit predictable.

I liked the POV from the Octopus and the friendship he had with Tova. The ending made me happy.
