This is soooooo good! This is set in the 50's/60's in the US. Elizabeth the FMC is a chemist that is trying to work in STEM when women were not valued in the field. I love that through the entire book she never changes who she is for anyone. This was good at times and not at others. If you love books about women in STEM this is for you.

There is talks of sextual harassment and rape so please know your triggers before you read.
