Customer Reviews

Love this book

Playful, sad, fun, thought provoking. The story itself is unbelievable but beautiful. I really enjoyed reading this one. It was a nice break from some of the more serious stuff I like to read.

Disappointing

Seems like a great idea but doesn't pan out. The parts told by and about the octopus are the most interesting. The rest reads like it was written by or for a middle schooler. Surprises me that the person who can write the octopus part so well cannot write the other parts better.

Pulls you in and weaves its tentacles into your being.

This is the best book I have read in a while. I just didn't want it to end. Loved all the characters. Loved the slow reveal to the characters the stuff we knew was coming right from the start. I really hope Shelby Van Pelt comes out with more, and soon!

Endearing characters

The book is an easy read, I completed it in one day. The characters were endearing and you become vested in them from the very beginning. It answered my questions and did not leave me hanging in regards to the outcome of the main characters.

Remarkably enjoyable read

The characters were well written, flawed, realistic but endearing. I love how the story wove together, the legs of an octopus coming together. Absolutely recommend. I'm hoping there is a sequel.

endearing characters and plot

sweetest story. loved the characters. still think about it months later.

Couldn’t put it down!

Wonderful story! Brilliantly written with dynamic characters and the most lovable octopus.
