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.
NOT REALLY SPOILERS JUST A SUMMARY BUT IF YOU DON’T WANT ONE THEN DON’T READ THIS
—————————-
Everyone has their own opinions but I’m so shocked at the people who didn’t like this book!
It blew my mind, I thought it was beautifully written!
You get three POV’s
Tova
Cameron
And Marcellus the Octopus. And from the beginning you know Marcellus doesn’t have much time left.
There was such a good story in this book, Tova is an older woman who works at the aquarium where Marcellus lives so you get an insight on both of them from each other.
Cameron is just a man who’s had shit luck his whole life and dealt a bad hand honestly.
But the way this book ties everything together just blew my mind. It was so beautiful, I felt a ton of emotions throughout all of it, it’s just what I want out of a book. It was such a unique story. I give it 5 stars!
