This was an audio listen for me … and a delightful one, as it’s a multiple point of view story and the reader made each voice distinctive – with a different actor reading for Marcellus, the octopus.

Yes, one of the main characters is an octopus.

This is the (accidental) year of the animal for the Book Chicks – not intentional as we each came with a pick in December. See our list here.

This reads (or sounds) like a romantic comedy except it’s not really a romance – it’s the feel good bits of a romantic comedy and the unlikely inevitable meeting of all the characters.

Loved! 4 stars.
