  • Summary

  • In this episode of The ADHD Book Club Podcast, we’re discussing Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. Beth E. Andersen of the Library Journal said, “Marcellus—a thief, escape artist with a mission, and brilliant observer of human behavior—narrates his chapters with a whip-smart wit born of his nine brains, three hearts, and the impatient urgency of wanting to help his beloved Tova before his time runs out... Poet and short story writer Van Pelt has written an irresistibly wonderful, warm, funny, heartbreaking first novel, full of gentle people (and one octopus) bravely powering through their individual scars left by lives that have beaten them up but have not brought them down.” Ashley says, “It’s like a story of friendships and stuff, and it’s lovely. And the octopus is a fun character.” Korey says, “It is charming in the same way a well-made, well-acted Hallmark movie is charming.” Tune in to hear more! 🧠 🐙
