I could not put this book down, this is definitely one of my favorites. About 50% science and 50% biography and I loved every single bit. Everyone needs to learn about the impact Henrietta’s cells have had on humanity and her family. This book is so well written and there’s a lot to learn from it. I could not recommend The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks enough. This is the book that got me into nonfiction.
