And the world's sweetest, most heartfelt book award goes to... This book is like a warm hug from that relative you miss so dearly and would give anything to talk to just once more. Despite the fact that the "mystery" of the plot is literally told to the reader by the mid-point of the story, it's still so gratifying to watch it all unfold and see the different characters come together. Also, the octopus has his own chapters. If you can, I highly recommend listening to the audiobook, as the narration is wonderful and so charming, it definitely adds to the story.
