Remarkably Bright Creatures
by Shelby Van Pelt
Read with me!
May's selection is Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.
Prepare to be charmed by Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus that literally wraps you around his heart. I have mixed feelings about the human characters in this one, but I can tell you it is a beauty when it comes to believing in second chances at a redeemable life.
I'm excited for you to explore the Pacific Northwest, get to know Tova, and feel the wide range of emotion that a grieving mother navigates while she ultimately finds some closure (and a best friend with eight arms).
HAPPY READING!
