Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Remarkably Bright Creatures felt like a warm hug, and it reminded me of Fredrik Backman in the way it makes simple words feel profound. You get Tova’s story, a third POV, and—iconically—Marcellus the giant Pacific octopus. I did the audiobook and highly recommend it because Marcellus’s chapters were everything.
Pros
- +Comforting, warm-hug vibe with emotional payoff
- +Unique POV (Marcellus the octopus) done so well
- +Audiobook narration adds a lot to the experience
Cons
- -If you don’t like multi-POV stories, it may take a bit to settle in
