Quite sweet

One night, Tova helps Marcellus, unaware of the ensuing ripple effects.

Though very predictable, this interwoven tale of a group of 70-something women, a shop keep with a crush, an orphan of sorts, and a Giant Pacific Octopus is quite sweet. I liked the characters and enjoyed reading about fundamentally kind people who care about each other. Not Great Literature, but soothing. TL:DR Needs more Marcellus.

Review of 'Remarkably Bright Creatures' on 'Goodreads'

Up-lit with an octopus. I liked the chapters from Marcellus and the interactions between him and Tova, but the rest of the story just wasn't my thing. Very sentimental, but I can see why others like it so much.
