Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.

Felt very white feminism to me. I felt like Elizabeth came off as preachy from a very modern perspective but in the 50's which was just off. And then the dog started having his own chapters and I just couldn't

I expected something more supernatural and spooky, but I still really enjoyed the book for what it was: A story about two sisters struggling with their own inner turmoil.
