The octopus was very charming and Tova's storyline of rediscovering hope for living in the face of the grief of outliving your loved ones as so beautiful and heartwrenching but omgggggggg i Hated Cameron.
Minus a whole star for the way he called Avery "the girl" when he met her, only for me to find out she's in her early thirties and is a single mom like.... minus a half star for trying to get me to emotionally connect to this whiny 30 year old man child. sorry not sorry, beautiful writing but would not recommend
