You’ve heard our full breakdown of Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt now it’s time to talk feelings. In this book club episode, we dive into listener comments and book prompts, unpacking the moments that stayed with us long after the final page. From Marcellus being the most emotionally intelligent character in the room to the quiet ways structure and routine hold our lives together, we’re getting into all of it.
We talk through the rotating points of view. We spend time obsessing over Marcellus as a character and what his octopus perspective adds to the story that a human narrator simply couldn’t, questioning if the book works the same without him or if he’s the secret sauce. And because we couldn’t resist, we close by imagining Marcellus’s verdict on humanity, our drink choices, and our very on brand discussion habits. 🐙🍸
Pour another round, settle in, and join us for a thoughtful, heartfelt conversation that proves sometimes the softest stories leave the biggest mark. 🍸📖
