Puzzling Events

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt is a fantastic book!! I really enjoyed this one!

Multiple characters tell the story, including my favorite: Marcellus the octopus. Marcellus is an incredibly smart octopus that forms a bond with the nightshift cleaning woman at his aquarium. Tova is an older woman who has lost her his husband to cancer and her teenage son to drowning years earlier. She never learned what caused the incident.

Meanwhile, Cameron is a thirty-ish-year-old man who is down on his luck. He lost yet another job, his girlfriend broke up with him and his band is losing their lead singer. He decides to investigate his unknown father, which leads him to working at the same aquarium as Tova and Marcellus.

While there is some predictability within the plot, I just loved the story. There are great characters and satisfying plot events.
