My favourite fiction book this year - what a page turner! I laughed and almost cried through this rollercoaster of a book which seems to be more about sociology than chemistry: integrity, community, found family and determination. Elizabeth Zott is a fabulous, fearless and feminist icon who I was really rooting for but also inspired by! This is truly an incredible novel with rich characters and humour but also some darker elements that add such depth to the story.

Re read this for a book club and it’s just so good!
