📚 Book Review: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie G 📚 Book Review: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus 📚 When I first heard about Lessons in Chemistry, I hesitated, thinking it might be too science-heavy and a bit dull. I was completely wrong! This book is an absolute gem—sad, funny, and uplifting all at once. Set in the 1960s, Lessons in Chemistry follows Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant chemist thwarted by the intense sexism of the era. Despite her potential, she ends up hosting a daytime cooking show, and the results are both surprising and delightful. The book explores love, unlikely friendships, and how people from different walks of life come together in the most unexpected ways. There’s even a touch of karma that wraps up the story in a way that will leave you satisfied and heartwarming. If you haven’t read it yet, you're in for an incredible treat. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable journey through a unique and powerful story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 📖 Looking for your next great read? Swing by Blackfen Community Library and dive into our collection of books! Whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, or something in between, we have a book for every reader. Come explore and find your next favourite book! #blackfencommunitylibrary #bexley #sidcup #readingtime #readinglist #readingisfun
