There are five star books and then there are books that change you brain chemistry. No pun intended, this book joins that very rare list of mine.
The beautiful and clever writing of Bonnie Garmus had me hooked to this heartbreaking but inspiring story. I love the characters and how much this story made me feel.
And my very favorite thing about this book: six-thirty and his POV.
This book deserves all the hype it gets and more.

A little boring but there were some funny and thrilling moments. The story itself didn’t feel super original or groundbreaking, Elizabeth is a girlboss who good at everything and also the most stunning woman ever. She’s not a very complex character. It’s really obvious that the main character is written by someone who is not a scientist themself, because it’s so overdone. The end also felt rushed and there was a huge exposition that tied everything up perfectly.

This book manages to be frustrating, whimsical, and somber all at once. If you’re like me, many parts of this book will have your fists clenched in anger. Best rest assured, your fists will uncurl (mostly anyway) by the end of this book (although most of the sweet here is counterbalanced by bitterness, in a true lesson in chemistry)
At first I wasn’t sure about the writing style. It was captivating enough but when we started getting 6:30’s point of view, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thankfully I stuck with it and the writing sucked me in and I really enjoyed this book.
I’m very late to this party but I’m really glad I picked this book up!
