This debut novel combines so many of my favorite things in fiction: a rag-tag band of misfits who somehow manage to bring out the best in each other despite their own self-destructive tendencies, intergenerational – and also interspecies! - friendships, multiple storylines to piece together, and a kind-hearted curmudgeon. Meet Shelby and get a personalized copy of the book at An Unlikely Story's in-person event on June 10th. MAY PICK Emily Crowe reviews Remarkably Bright Creatures: It’s uplifting, hopeful, warm and funny, and I highly recommend everyone read it! REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES is one of those books you want to put in everyone’s hands, so you can talk about it. Not many authors would be able to pull off making a reader fall in love with a misanthropic octopus, but Shelby pulls it off brilliantly. I have to admit to instantly falling in love with the curmudgeonly Marcellus, one of three unforgettable characters in this stellar debut.
