Book of the Month April

Lessons in Chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus

Read with me!

April's selection is Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Chances are, if you're into reading, you've heard of this one (or already read it). Cover to cover, you'll be mesmerized by Elizabeth's world. This is GIRL POWER, science loving, man's world BS in the 50s & 60s. You're going to want to be quirky Elizabeth Zott's friend as she blows open the doors for women in science (or tries to). She unapologetically voices her blunt opinions on what was then considered socially normal and expected by women. Her opinions on religion vs science are a very controversial sticking point with many that have decided this book isn't for them. These are Elizabeth's views and it's how she sees her world. Her views don't mean you need to think like her and her views don't make your views less significant. This is EXACTLY why you need to read this book. It presents perspective into how others think and why. As you read this incredible book, think about the character development and why each is so important to the story. I was so invested in each one's contribution to Lessons in Chemistry.

"Chemistry is change. Whenever you start doubting yourself, whenever you feel afraid, just remember. Courage is the root of change - and change is what we're chemically designed to do." - Elizabeth Zott

Grab this one and enjoy. Elizabeth is a genius...quite literally.

Supper at Six!!

HAPPY READING!
