I am a women in STEM *clicks tongue* Bunsen burners on. I am in my element when I study the elements or when I read this book. Women in STEM is my new favourite sub category of fiction even though you know the book is going to contain sexism. 

I found the writing style and structure fun. Six Thirty gave me The Art of Racing in the Rain vibes and I’m here for it. 

if anyone knows the chemical compound that is on the re do tombstone of Calvin please let me know
