i adore elizabeth zott and mad zott- to be so upfront and utterly yourself is a lovely quality, and inspiring for a reader who struggles with the perceptions of others. also, love is chemistry, she is right. six-thirty is a lovely name for a dog. definitely read if you want to be encouraged in your convictions - strive for what u want! fuck everyone else!
downside is blatant white feminism but still a v good book nonetheless, just not for it’s political qualities.
