I would give 4.5 stars if I could. One of my favorite things about this book was that one of the narrators was a giant pacific octopus! I found the main characters relatable and found myself rooting for them. I will definitely seek out more books by this author.

This one has me up too late on a school night; I was so into the story by the second half! I loved every character, but especially the star, Marcellus. It was a slow starting book, but really enjoyable, with so many themes for thought or discussion: aging, community, growing up, loss, grief, moving on, the family we choose, hoarding, and on.... A great one for a book club

Yikes- what was all the hype about? We already had The Shape of Water. It was confusing to have separate stories you couldn’t see how they connected for quite a while. I do like the idea of an octopus roaming the aquarium at night in search of great food.
