The idea wasn’t necessarily bad but the story didn’t feel very natural and the characters weren’t very endearing. I find it quite disappointing that Elizabeth was so socially awkward, and not relatable, as if women scientists had to be quite weird like that to be in science.
Also, 99% men were misogynistic and perverts, and all religious people are hypocrite a****les and/or perverts, everything felt too much like a good vs bad people story, with very little nuance or depth to the characters.

I thought this was a modern romance.....for some reason it's totally not.
I love the combination of bad ass woman scientist, love, grief, challenging expectation and a piece of historical fiction thrown in. I did not expect to like this book, but kept hearing great things....and it's totally not overhyped. The chemistry pieces were so cool, and I loved the nerdy bits of information. Elizabeth (the mc) was truly incredible. I even loved the dog POV. I would DEFINITELY reccomend this to pretty much everyone.
It is so smart and badass, fun y, outrageous, i retesting and thought-provoking and it's for you--whoever you are.

I read this for a book club — I probably wouldn’t have picked it up on my own, but I enjoyed it. Parts of it were not plausible, and i worry that those might make some people dismiss the (very legitimate) critiques of academia as also not realistic.

First off, Elizabeth Zott is totally badass. Like, she embodies feminism and she's also so witty and funny. Initially, I didn't even like Calvin, but as soon as Elizabeth did, I did also.
I would read this book anywhere. I read the key plot twist on a bus and I literally had to take a moment. It winded me. This book was full of things I didn't see coming, and full of larger than life characters. Mad, Six-Thirty, that preist dude. The plot was like a fantasic soup.
I think the TV show is good, but strays from the book a little. It's fine though, as it just makes the characters easier to visualise. I reccomend the TV show too.
I think it's such a fifties book. It is very clearly set in the fifties. I liked the ending. I liked the repersentation of greif.
Overall, it's a good book. Would reccomend, and in fact I already have.
