This book was entertaining, funny, and heartbreaking (sometimes all at once). Elizabeth Zott is one of my new favorite female characters. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves smart and good writing.

This book is incredible! The topics are covered well and the characters are all fleshed-out and realistic. It is very sad, but you root for Elizabeth throughout the book and her successes/failures feel like those of a close friend. I would recommend this to anyone, especially those who like feminist-related books or stories focused on personal development.

There are a few points in the book in which Elizabeth and other female characters are raped. Two scenes are pretty explicit and may be triggering.
