I wish I hadn't read this right after Challenger Deep. Not that they even are that much alike, but enough that I just kept thinking "this would be a lot better if I wasn't comparing it to Challenger Deep." Can you tell I really loved Challenger Deep? But this is supposed to be about Lily & the Octopus, which was fun and cute and I had to squeeze my dogs a little harder every time I put it down.

Maybe I’ve never had that close of a relationship with a pet.
