One of the most beautiful, well written books that I have ever read! And that’s saying a lot from a woman of a certain age who is a voracious reader. I always gift my favorite read of the year to my friends and family…this was my choice for the year 2022.

This was well received by everybody. We really enjoyed the character of Marcellus, despite his being an octopus.

I loved this book. The narrators are all so different and the octopus has such a unique perspective. Great story told in a way that keeps you hooked!

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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a heart warming book. Slow to develop and easy to gauge but a nice read overall.
