Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
2.5
challenging dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

As a women in stem I found this book difficult to read and I think had this been told by someone who had experienced science from the inside it may have come across more sincere. The distraction of the dog having a state of consciousness I found brought me out if the story and as well as the ridiculous way the male lead dies. I don't think it's that funny and have to say  was quite disappointed by it.
