absolutely loved this, if reawakened my love for the sea and helped develop my newfound passion for molluscs!! read this over a year ago and am planning on getting a nautilus tattoo largely because of the love and passion this book helped create. very lighthearted and inspiring, reminded me of how beautiful and strange little creatures can be. absolutely adore this book and will likely reread it in the future.

So much to learn, really a great book, but it can lag. There is a ton of information in this book, which I loved, but did make reading certain parts very sluggish and feel like I was hiking uphill. Lots of history facts (taxonomy, discoveries, etc) alongside the authors personal journeys/experiences with mollusks.
Absolutely loved the information on hermit crab vacancy chains. Gives me an extra layer of love for them!
Love how she ends with a conservation message, pressuring governments/those in power but also reminding readers of their own impacts.
