The women in Ro's family have never had much luck with men. Her boyfriend shuffles off to Mars, her father is missing at Sea, and her favorite octopus is being purchased by a private collector. All these events force Ro to reflect on her life to find a new way forward.
This seems to be published on the heels of similar books like Remarkably Bright Creatures. Always an octopus giving you insights on life. This book seems to be the tamer of the two. Ro is stuck working at the aquarium. It seems the loss of the octopus may force her hand. However, when the collector has an incident with the octopus, he has second thoughts, but the dye is cast for Ro.
I didn't get a lot out of this and the book doesn't seem to live up to the title.
