This book covers so much. It's charming and sad and messy (in a good way). It's extremely relevant. During the 6 days I read it, I had 4 conversations on it that convince other people to read it. 

Sexism in the work place is still horrible and very much there, it's gotten better since Elizabeth Zott's time. But regardless this is an extremely relatable. I was beaming when Zott uplifted women and tried her best. 6:30 was charming and probably my favorite character. 

I however HATE this cover. I'm sure if you look it up, the author also said they didn't love it. Which is why I want to get a UK cover. I borrowed this book from the library, and I had to wait a WHILE for it. But it was so worth it. 

This is easily going to be one of my biggest summer read suggestions of this year.

Did not expect there to be so much rowing exposition. The perfect book for an ex-high school rower and chem student 3🚣‍♀️

This book was cute and sweet overall to see the character find a support group. Mad is so lovable in my opinion.

This is not a feminist book and it’s not even very well written.
