Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Lessons in Chemistry

Really enjoyed this book, though I don’t understand the obsession - primarily because I didn’t find the main character to be particularly relatable. It was well written and I loved the character development throughout. A big sign to me that many women today are craving permission to be the full expression of themselves. Overall a great book - especially for a new author - and a quick read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars

Absolutely loved this audiobook: the story, the performance, the characters.

The combination of the story written by Bonnie and the voice performance by Miranda was absolutely phenomenal.

I accidentally stumbled upon this book and I’m so glad I did.

Holy fuck. Wow. Just… wow. This book had me feeling so much, anger, frustration, hope, sadness, it had it all.
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.
