Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
5.0
"Humans. For the most part, you are dull and blundering. But occasionally, you can be remarkably bright creatures."
"It seems to be a hallmark of the human species: abysmal communication skills.”
“Some trees aren’t meant to sprout tender new branches, but to stand stoically on the forest floor, silently decaying.”
“No, the deal is never anyone’s fault. But you control the way you play.”
I went into this book blind and unsure what to expect. Not far into it, I wasn't sure I liked it, didn't think I actually would finish it. I had no expectation that I would be bawling at 1030pm while listening to this.
When Tova handed Cameron Erik's class ring and said his name, that's when my eyes exploded into tears
Could there have been more Marcellus time and maybe a bit less Cameron time? Sure. I would probably have enjoyed that more. As it stands though, the ratio of Cameron:Marcellus seems fitting.
I am at a loss for any other words. This book, while a slower burn at the start, was marvelous.
