Okay, so I just finished 'Lessons in Chemistry' and WOW. This wasn't just a book - it was like getting hit with a beaker full of emotions and social commentary.

Elizabeth Zott is officially my new fictional hero. A chemist in the 1960s dealing with all that sexist nonsense? Girl deserved a Nobel Prize just for putting up with those male colleagues.

The way Bonnie Garmus writes science stuff is actually cool? Like I failed chemistry but now I kinda wish I paid attention. Also Six-Thirty the dog might be the smartest character in the whole book (no offense to Elizabeth).

Weirdly relatable moments: when Elizabeth has to dumb herself down for TV - hello imposter syndrome! When people assume she's the secretary - been there. When she refuses to smile on command - MOOD.

Only complaint? The ending felt kinda abrupt. Like when your experiment suddenly explodes before you're ready. Needed more closure!

PSA: If you liked Hidden Figures or The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, you'll love this. Just prepare to get angry about 1960s sexism... and then realize some things haven't changed enough.
