**** "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt is a heartwarming debut novel that intertwines the lives of its characters with a unique and insightful perspective from a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus. Readers initially expect a straightforward tale about a woman and her aquatic companion, but the narrative quickly expands into a rich exploration of family, grief, and connection. Van Pelt utilizes a magical realism angle through Marcellus, who shares his thoughts and observations, adding a layer of depth to the story. The narrative elegantly alternates between the lives of three key characters: Tova, a lonely septuagenarian working at an aquarium; Cameron, a young man searching for identity and family; and Ethan, a local grocer harboring feelings for Tova. Each character's life is intricately woven together, revealing profound connections that are gradually uncovered, making for an engaging and emotional read. Tova's loneliness touches a chord, reflecting the struggles that come with aging, while Cameron's journey infuses a sense of hope and discovery. Van Pelt fills her pages with humor and poignant moments, striking a delicate balance between light-heartedness and the weight of the subjects at hand. The side characters, particularly Tova’s camaraderie with "Knit-Wits," and funny side-plots add richness to the narrative. The charming portrayal of Marcellus, who embodies wisdom and humor, serves as a reminder of the beauty of relationships—both human and animal—flourishing amidst adversity and grief. Overall, "Remarkably Bright Creatures" is an emotionally impactful read that resonates with themes of belonging, love, and the importance of connection, making it a highly recommended novel for readers seeking a meaningful exploration of life's complexities. **
