My cousin recommended this to me and it did not disappoint! It was such a compelling story that had so much to talk about. I personally loved that parts of the story were from Six-thirty’s perspective, and I just appreciated the inclusion of dogs being so smart and loyal to their human. This story made me sad, frustrated, annoyed, happy, etc.. all of the emotions. It was intriguing to read about a fictional female scientist in the 60s and try to navigate and create her life while dealing with all of the societal norms of the time period. Such a great book!
