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.
