The writing style was quirky which reflected the quirkiness of Elizabeth and I just loved the story from start to finish. In fact, I usually don’t like books written in a non-linear kinda fashion, but Bonnie Garmus has done a superb job in weaving this story.
This book had me gripped pretty much from the first page, I couldn’t put it down, and when I had to put it down I just thought about it.
Not only did this book have me feeling things, it also made me think, truly think, about how this book isn’t set that long ago, and how this was the reality for women. I don’t think I’ve read a book in this era that quite handles it the way Bonnie Garmus did.
Once again I will say wow, just wow.

This is by far my newest favorite book of all time, and I hope to read many more novels by Bonnie in the future. The research to write this beautifully powerful story deserves five stars in and of itself. I'm looking forward to watching the t.v. series, but nothing will compare to the poetic writing of Bonnie Garmus.
Do yourself a favor and put this at the TOP of your TBR list!
