Lessons in Chemistry
by Bonnie Garmus
Guys.... five stars! Maybe 6 stars! Elizabeth Zott has to be one of the baddest and funniest characters of all time. Seriously, she is a fierce certified-baddie! And I wanted to murder every male character that stood in her way in this story! I dare you to read just one chapter and not get hooked. I laughed, I fumed, I cried. And the way the story was crafted! *chef's kiss* The story is told in third person omniscient which means we see the POV of every character....even one of my favorite characters, a dog named six-thirty. This was just such a sharp story, full of ups and downs, mystery, action, and love! With themes on gender inequality, science vs. religion, parenthood, family, and tragedy. Truly a MUST read, and I actually listened to the audio which I can confirm is excellent!

“Whenever you feel afraid, just remember. Courage is the root of change - and change is what we're chemically designed to do. So when you wake up tomorrow, make this pledge. No more holding yourself back. No more subscribing to others' opinions of what you can and cannot achieve. And no more allowing anyone to pigeonhole you into useless categories of sex, race, economic status, and religion. Do not allow your talents to lie dormant, ladies. Design your own future. When you go home today, ask yourself what YOU will change. And then get started.”
