I loved this book! I grew up on Doris Day movies and this book definitely gave me DD vibes!! Highly recommend!
Group enjoyed the read and good discussion on sexism and struggle as a women to be heard in work place .
After reading several thoughtful negative reviews I had decided Lessons in Chemistry was probably not for me. Then my book club chose it as our October pick so I decided to go ahead and read it for myself. I have to say as a Christian it saddens me that this book is so popular with it’s clear message that atheists are the smart ones and anyone who believes in God is at best naive and at worst corrupt or just plain stupid. The ever present atheist themes aside I found the novel overall mildly amusing and enjoyed Elizabeth and Calvin’s sweet romance. The story itself demonstrated well how women in science were not taken seriously in that time period. I did think Elizabeth’s constant feminist lectures a bit unnecessary.
