this book deserves every award it has and more. 
i feel represented by Elizabeth Zott and also by the need to want to know someone who died more than you did when they were alive. 

i’m so emotional.

It took me a while to get into this book; not because it was uninteresting or poorly written, but because I was so incredibly angry at the almost ceaseless misogyny that the main character just kept facing. 

I'm so glad I stuck it out, though, because it paid off heavily in the end. 

I cried so much for Elizabeth as well as every woman who has been told she "isn't smart enough" or the other myriad ways to say "less than". 

The shifting perspectives (especially Six-Thirty's) made for a well-fleshed out and nuanced build up of the story and I really appreciated the blunt characterizations and descriptions. 

I can see why this book has been hyped up so much. 

It was well worth the read.

I've seen reviews of this book with people talking about how annoying Elizabeth Zott is because she refers to everyday items in their scientific terms. So I needed to come over here and tell them to stfu. Let's be real here, I'm sure Elizabeth Zott is on the autistic spectrum, but back then no one was going to label it. and why should they? She is clearly passionate about her work, so much so she takes it home with her. I think its rather endearing and if you don't whatever. That's not even the main point of the story. Science is used as a metaphor and to drive the story onward. The true root of this story is womanhood. So if you are complaining about her being annoying in 2024, maybe you're the problem!
