Really great book. Loved the focus on relationships we have with one another and the connections that bond us. Especially loved the female relationships depicted in this book. Will definitely be looking for more works by this author.

How can I even describe how wonderful this book is? Most of the time I stay away from 3rd person omniscient but this is an example of a WELL DONE pov. I adore Elizabeth Zott. This story is told perfectly, everything revealed at e x a c t l y the right time.

There are five star books and then there are books that change you brain chemistry. No pun intended, this book joins that very rare list of mine. 

The beautiful and clever writing of  Bonnie Garmus had me hooked to this heartbreaking but inspiring story. I love the characters and how much this story made me feel.

And my very favorite thing about this book: six-thirty and his POV.

This book deserves all the hype it gets and more.
