Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
One night, Tova helps Marcellus, unaware of the ensuing ripple effects.
Though very predictable, this interwoven tale of a group of 70-something women, a shop keep with a crush, an orphan of sorts, and a Giant Pacific Octopus is quite sweet. I liked the characters and enjoyed reading about fundamentally kind people who care about each other. Not Great Literature, but soothing. TL:DR Needs more Marcellus. ★★★☆☆
