Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

2.0

This book had potential, but Elizabeth Zott doesn’t feel like a realistic character rather a conglomeration of female scientists and women’s rights activists. I did enjoy the parts of the book from Six Thirty’s perspective. Mad is a naturally precocious child. I was also irritated by Elizabeth’s inability to articulate her feelings and just let things pass, like her behavior at the funeral. Overall there were things I enjoyed like her neighbor and her producer’s characters, but I was also annoyed by Elizabeth’s behavior at times. I did enjoy the ending and how it all wrapped up neatly.
