Remarkably Bright Creatures: A Novel

Oh, my heart! What an exceptionally moving novel. I didn’t know I would fall in love with an octopus, but Marcellus is the heart of the story. This book is about grief, love, magic, growth, change, found family, animal and human. It is quirky and the characters are dysfunctional, but so lovable, even at their most frustrating. And it has a happy ending. Don’t miss this book!

This book is a must read for everyone. I cannot say enough good things. I loved the way this story is laid out and how we are introduced to all of our characters. Not only is the plot creative but it’s filled with emotion. I was attached to all of the characters and am genuinely sad I’m done reading this one. It’s hard to express what makes this so good without spoilers so the best I can do is say, you really need to read this one!

I absolutely loved this book. The end kind of fizzled out for me, but otherwise I loved gaining insight from the various chsracters perspectives.

So far this is my feel good book of 2022. What’s not to enjoy? Who would of thought an older widow and an octopus could keep you so entertained?

This was an amazing story of aging and unlikely friendship! The author writes beautifully with a prose that is lyrical yet grounded. I loved how the story was written in different perspectives. What makes this story so heartwarming is that its a gentle reminder that healing from grief often comes through unexpected friendships and kindness.
