Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
4.5
inspiring fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

What a delightful book. I loved the Elizabeth story line - the Calvin pages in the first half left me speed reading. But once we get past his death - the story took off for me. 
1960’s - daytime television - Elizabeth Zott is a chemist who gets a job as a tv host of a chemistry based cooking show because she intimidates the producer. Not that she wanted the show - he dreamed it up after meeting her. 
Elizabeth Zott - what a woman. Six-thirty - what a dog. Madeline - a bit unbelievable - but it is a novel after all.
