I nearly quit this book a few chapters in and I'm very glad I didn't. There's some early trauma and it's heavy (and honestly, I felt unnecessary in such detail) but it's a good story and the moments of joy and levity and reflection are excellent. There's some solid wins that are very gratifying too, especially as a woman in science/the world. I would highly recommend to others as long as you give the content warnings a glance and know what you're in for - I was caught off guard and it made the experience worse for me (I'm sure I didn't get all the warnings, maybe check a few other reviews too).

I judged this book by its cover. I was so wrong! I avoided this book for a while, thinking it was a “dumb romance.” It was a romance, but there was nothing dumb about it. These characters were great. My favorite were the daughter and the dog. Rarely have I seen such a formidable child or personified dog as charming. Most of the women are wonderfully written, especially Elizabeth who is a force of nature because she refuses to compromise her integrity (the teacher was a piece of work!). Other great characters - the priest, the producer, and the journalist - all allies and converts. I’m so excited is being developed by Apple!
