Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
1.0
something about this writing just throws me off. everything is is stated so matter of factly with no emotion.
so much so that i don’t believe in the “love” calvin and elizabeth have

some other things that threw me off
  • the constant cursing which doesn’t match the time period this is set in
  • the jumping around topics and events 
  • “poor cops had budget cuts” in chapter 11
  • the way people talk about elizabeth as if she’s the only beautiful person in the world
  • other characters have no depth and seem to exist only for elizabeth 
  • canned soup is bad bc it’s full on chemicals? doesn’t sound like something a real chemist would say
