I really loved this book. It took me a minute to get into, but I ultimately found myself really attached to all of the characters. I loved going on a journey across someone’s entire life and seeing how all their relationships grew and changed and developed.

Lessons in Chemistry was a wonderful read. An engaging story of a woman exploring her place in the world in the mid-1900s, and not letting anyone or anything stop her. Elizabeth Zott is a really unique character, and you really fall in love with her. 

I loved this book. While difficult to read at times for its intensity, I found it compelling and exhilarating. The journey that Jonah goes on is so multi-faceted and so complex: traumatic events, mental health, and so much more.

I found this book to really live up to its hype - a super fast and easy read, but a real page turner. There is always more that you want to know about Evelyn’s story, and none of it is boring.

This book was really enjoyable from start to finish. It was a really fast read as I was really into the characters and their development. It’s always nice to read about queer characters, and this book really allowed you to follow their journey of growth and self discovery.

Enjoyed the book overall, especially in its message to live your life to the fullest, be brave, and take chances. Sometimes the back and forth of the story I didn’t love, but overall really enjoyed.

This was a wonderful read. Informative and challenging, allowing you to both see from the outside how therapy works so differently for everyone, but also challenging you to come to some of your own truths. Not quite a self-help book, but a story of a therapist and her therapy. Would recommend to…anyone. 

Was interesting to learn about Megan’s journey, and inspiring to see her activism. There were a few too many game explanations where we got play by plays, and they eventually started to blur together a bit for me. Enjoyable overall, though!

This was a really interesting book in helping to understand some aspects of being a great manager. It provided some really clear and helpful examples, and is backed up by lots of surveying of the best out there!

This book was really fascinating overall, but I did find it a lot more political than I had anticipated. It was a really interesting look at our society and at race, and how America is just so build on this idea of being separated into categories.
