Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
4.75
challenging emotional funny informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was marvelous, uneasy, charming, reflective and clever.

First of all, I want to be Mad Zott when I grow up!! 
Elizabeth zott is a legend and I’m currently train my dog to be as smart at six-thirty.

But what I truly loved about Garmus’ writing was her side characters. The way she wrote their thoughts, motivations and clever remarks enriched this story.

I will say that although this has some incredibly hilarious moments, it’s also a profoundly sad and alarming story. Please take care and look up content warnings.
