Small town feel-good fiction, in which an elderly woman named Tova makes friends with an elderly aquarium octopus named Marcellus; meanwhile, young Cameron, who can’t seem to maintain a job or a stable relationship, wanders into town. Of course the lives of all three intersect in a way that the reader can easily figure out halfway through the book, but the characters must bumble around for a few more chapters before they figure things out for themselves. Super predictable and relaxing read; great insights into aging, grief, community, and also octopus life.
