Although a few things tie together in a nice bow, the strength of the cast of characters, especially our protagonist, and the themes of truth, change, and perseverance make this novel a crowd-pleaser.

This book 🥹 I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would and wish more people would read it, or at least give it a chance!! 

There is a reason this is a five star read. This writing is beautiful, intentional, and meaningful. Each word was written with purpose. Everything in this story; backstory, inner monologue, character, had reason. I LOVED how everything was wrapped up in the end. Of course I cried 😭 Ugh, please read!! 

Last thought, Six-thirty is my favorite character. I highlighted so many of his parts. He is a wise dog.

I love this book so much and it's at times very devastating and heartbreaking but I'm deeply inspired by the main character Elisabeth Zott and I will forever recommand it to my friends

This one started so depressingly that I thought I got the wrong book. “Achingly funny”? I barely had the courage to continue, thinking this would be another “dark comedy” I’d just fail to understand.
And then, the book took a turn. It became very funny. 
I won’t put spoilers here. I loved everything, from the courageous women, the eloquence of Elizabeth, to the dog and the men who became equal friends.
I’ve yet to read a novel with as much truth and cleverness to it, all wrapped into a story of emancipation and female empowerment.

3.0

It was an easy read, with points to make about feminism and women in STEM. It felt both overlong and also rushed in some parts. Love the love story- the central relationship was the strongest part of the book. The tone shifts so that some major events come quite out of the blue- please check content warnings as I was a bit blindsided by them.
