Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late. Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

You can’t choose your dad, but you can choose your daddy… A slow-burn, fake relationship, age-gap Christmas romance with a twist. Lucas Hart – 31yo aspiring sci-fi novelist/librarian whose idea of a good Sunday is brunch and a trip to TK Maxx. He likes loud shirts, lie-ins and ‘the nerdiest of nerdy stuff’. Disowned by his Dad for MANY reasons – he’s liberal, gay, feminist and camp af – he believes in choosing your own family, and is looking forward to marrying his boyfriend Julian and starting a life together. Even though Julian seems to be embarrassed by everything Lucas likes, and refuses to even hold his hand in public. Whatever, it’s totally fine. Sid(ney) Shale – 46yo sound engineer (currently works in a tech repair shop) whose idea of a good Sunday is a lie-in before a hike, pub lunch and a live band. He recently walked in on his partner of 16 years having sex with his boss. Said partner, Frank is a self-obsessed former rocker, who declined Sid’s proposal twice because ‘that stuff’s for the straights’. Sid is looking forward to dying alone, because love isn’t real and the world is a cold unfair place. He’s totally fine. * When Lucas’s boyfriend Julian gives him an ultimatum – invite his estranged, homophobic father to his first Christmas with Julian’s family, or end their relationship – he has no idea what to do. That is until his absentee landlord, Sid stumbles into the flat at 2am, drunk, recently dumped and in need of somewhere to spend Christmas. After sobering up and apologising for turning up to what was once his mum’s flat in his drunken state, Sid reluctantly agrees to be Lucas’ Dad for the week. So long as he doesn’t have to go home and face his cheating partner of 16 years. The two of them head off to the Yorkshire countryside, but it soon becomes clear that working class Sid doesn’t fit in well with Julian’s posh family…and neither does Lucas. As the two men get closer and share the events that led them to this mad week, are they forging a relationship that’s purely platonic, or is Sid more of a Daddy than a father figure?
