A review by tabatha_shipley
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

4.0

What I Did Like:
+I do love the points made by the main character about equality, which is the point of the novel. She’s absolutely right about all of it and eloquent in her delivery.
+The second half of the book is beautiful. The main character just sings in this role and it gives the story depth. That being said, if we hadn’t taken the journey in the first half, we wouldn’t understand her well enough to let this half work. 
+Mad is a great character. Yes, there’s the intelligence and the logic but there’s also a questioning of life and existence. Still, at her roots, she’s a kid. Somehow, you never forget that. 

Who Should Read This One:
-Readers who want something about women coming into their roles and demanding equality during unequal times. Fans of Marvelous Mrs Maisel, for example, may enjoy this. Although it’s chemistry, not comedy! 

My Rating: 4 Stars
