4.5

I nearly quit this book a few chapters in and I'm very glad I didn't. There's some early trauma and it's heavy (and honestly, I felt unnecessary in such detail) but it's a good story and the moments of joy and levity and reflection are excellent. There's some solid wins that are very gratifying too, especially as a woman in science/the world. I would highly recommend to others as long as you give the content warnings a glance and know what you're in for - I was caught off guard and it made the experience worse for me (I'm sure I didn't get all the warnings, maybe check a few other reviews too).
