Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
4.0

I enjoyed it tremendously, but have found it an enlightening experience to read through the reviews on Goodreads. I definitely didn't engage critically with it whilst reading it, just got thoroughly absorbed. I'm cautious to call it escapism, given the bleaker moments - but would compare it to The West Wing, in terms of having laugh-out-loud humour alongside serious themes, all wrapped up in a bundle of progressive views. In short, it was exactly what I needed this week.
