Remarkably Bright Creatures was an enjoyable and heartwarming read. I was particularly drawn to the characters—Tova and Marcellus stood out as the emotional anchors of the story. Their unlikely connection was both touching and memorable.

The writing was smooth and engaging, with a pace that kept me invested from beginning to end. I appreciated how the story unfolded gently but purposefully, building to a moving and satisfying conclusion that truly resonated.

While I found a few sections to be a bit slow or perhaps unnecessary, these moments were minimal and didn’t take away from the overall experience. The emotional depth, unique perspective, and quiet beauty of the narrative more than made up for them.

Overall, this was a lovely, feel-good read that balances loss and healing with warmth, wit, and an unexpected friendship. ]]>
