Thank you to BiblioLifestyle, Ecco Books, and the author for the gifted copy of Remarkably Bright Creatures!  All opinions in this review are my own.

SYNOPSIS

Ever since her husband passed, Tova has been working at the aquarium.  Now she has to deal with another loss on top of the mysterious disappearance of her son over thirty years ago.  Marcellus, the giant Pacific octopus, may know something about her son.

REVIEW

Marcellus really stole the show for me in this novel.  I looked forward to his chapters the most and wish there had been more!  As much as I love Marcellus, the mystery surrounding Tova's son was really interesting!  I love how everything connected in the end.
