Wowee that was sad. Beautifully written, was not able to put down this book!!

Someone said that Elizabeth Zott sounded like she came from the 21st century, and I couldn’t unsee (unhear?) it.

This book was different to my usual reads but I still enjoyed it a lot! The representation of sexism is believable for the time it is set. It was interesting reading it almost like I’m watching a sitcom. The character development was strong and I felt that I had closure at the end. 
Can’t wait to watch the series!

Would be a 5 ⭐️ book if it wasn’t so aggressively disrespectful about people who believe in god. 

I really loved all of the characters and they felt so real. 6:30’s internal monologue made me cry more than once! Really well written, interesting plot and realistic characters.

6⭐️ this was wonderful! It took a little while to get to the charm that this book is, but the second half is so fantastic. This book swings between bristling rage and fist pumping “heck yeah”. It’s empowering but heart breaking. It’s found family, having courage, and making change. I loved the way the characters intertwined and came together. I loved everything about this book by the time it was over. And I wish “Supper at Six” was a real show. Three cheers for women is STEM!
