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.

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.

A delightful read, albeit infuriating! I admire Elizabeth’s courage and will try to take it with me when I’m faced with the sexist realities of our world!
