Wow! What a beautifully written book! Definitely one of my favorites this year. The story is pure, deep and you you will fall in love with Marcelus immediately. Will read this again.
3.5 ⭐️ I listened to this on Audible and tbh only got into the storyline on a second attempt, as I found the plot quite slow to start out. However, by the second half, I was very invested in the characters and each of their struggles. I loved the intricate writing and oftentimes humorous remarks and thoughts of the characters, most of all, of course, the chapters of Marcellus, the GPO
Loved it. Started a little slow but the way it was all tied together was really beautiful.
This was such a beautiful story and I definitely recommend the Audiobook ❤️
*3,5 Charming read, but took me a while to get into it. I would have loved to have more chapters from Marcellus' perspective. I felt a lot like cleaning during reading the book :p
So ein süßer Comfy-Read und dabei trotzdem nicht zuuu vorhersehbar. 🥰 Ich hab mich jedes Mal gefreut das Buch in die Hand zu nehmen und weiterzulesen - war immer ein bisschen wie nach Hause kommen. Sehr angenehme Protagonist:innen, wholesomes Krisen-/Beziehungsmanagement und schönes Ende. ❤️
Toller Roman über das Leben. Die verschiedenen Erzählstränge sind gut auseinander zu halten. Mir haben die Charaktere in diesem Buch gefallen. Ebenso finde ich gut wie die Autorin die einzelnen Stränge zum Ende des Buches ineinander verwebt.
Cute book! I really enjoyed reading it
Richtig schöne Geschichte über Tova und Cameron. Liest sich sehr gut und war unterhaltsam und wholesome.
3.5⭐ What a cute and heartwarming story. It took me a longer time than I expected to finish this book but that was just because I listened to the audiobook and those usually take me a bit longer. So it had nothing with the story which I thought was really good. The reason I picked this book up is because the premise is so unique. I mean a friendship between an older woman and an octopus??? How cool is that?! And yes it was very cool, but not just that it was also soo sweet how Tova, the main character, cared for Marcellus, the octopus. What I also thought was really was that we had chapters in between were Marcellus tells us his view on the story and I liked to see how he tries to help unsolve "the mystery" out of love and friendship for Tova. I also really liked the development of the other main character Cameron and I was really happy for him at the end of the book. So was it the greatest book of all time no. But I think this is an important about family and friendship and also dealing with grief which made me like this story a lot.
My absolute favorite part of the book was Marcellus. Loved every chapter of his POV. Rest of the story was lovely, but I nothing surprising. Please remember reading is subjective.
Remarkably bright creatures indeed.
A slow unfolding story at first that picks up the pace rather quickly. Tova's persona is remarkably calming and exerts a sense of peacefulness onto every conversation which i very much enjoyed. The friendships explored in this book are fantastic and the turn of events makes you hold your breath. I loved it. Thank you!
