‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ is a clever, heartwarming novel by Shelby Van Pelt, one which has garnered a lot of attention lately and I can understand why. It's the story of a unique relationship between a cleaning woman at a local aquarium and an octopus that has the ability to understand humans, identify their fingerprints left on the glass, and steals or sneaks items left behind by the humans and hides them in its den. What also works about this novel is how the various characters end up being connected in ways you would not expect. Perhaps not very realistic but it works nonetheless and makes for a good read. Very enjoyable!
