Remarkably Bright Creatures was one of my favorites reads of 2023

I loveee this book, the audiobook version is also so good!

2

I'm reading The Last List of Mabel Beaumont right now, and it totally fits this vibe!

2

Omg thank you for the rec, adding to this list and my tbr šŸ«¶

2

I love this haha, I feel like The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches would fit if you're interested!

2

I looove that book and it definitely has the found family aspect, but I think Mika doesn't quite fit the old+grumpy bill for this particular list. Appreciate the rec though and definitely let me know if you come across any others!!

2

True true I was thinking of all the adults in the book not just Mika haha

2

Is anyone here watching A Man on the Inside? It's got the same vibes as these books!

2

Omg 95% on rotten tomatoes! Going to watch right now šŸ˜‚

I'd say the only thing it's missing is grumpiness from the MC but fear not there is definitely grumpiness amongst some of the other characters
