4.0

Lessons in Chemistry is a mix of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, science, and cooking; it is a zany, vibrant, sharp, and witty book about motherhood, cooking, chemistry (science and otherwise), and being a woman in the 60’s. If you like books with a strong, independent female character, humor, social commentary, and an emotional/inspiring read, definitely check this out!
