Awful and unreadable do not being to describe how bad this book is. It's exceptionally badly written - 50 Shades of Grey was a literary masterpiece compared to this - and the author talks down to her audience, treating them like idiots, or children. Elizabeth Zott is quirky and "not like all the other girls," but she isn't likeable. She sees herself as better than everyone else, and is not a likeable person. The book is not a lighthearted fun romp, but a dark, serious, and godawful run through life. Negative 10 stars.
