I dearly love this book. I love how Elizabeth isn’t completely perfect but that isn’t at all worked on in the book. Her flaws aren’t something to fix they’re just a part of her. While at times it did almost read as though she were a perfect modern (post 2000s kind of modern) woman set in a time where attitudes were different, it still mostly read well. 
One small complaint was that whilst this is very much a book about science and chemistry specifically, I don’t feel I learned anything about the topic. In Weir’s science fiction I learn science. In Kuang’s novel Babel I learned about linguistics. Unfortunately, this book didn’t teach me any chemistry. 
It did however, teach a lot about humanity, kindness, and the  types of bonds that bind us.

It took me a bit to get into, but I liked it! I can totally see why everyone's obsessed with it, it just didn't scratch that same itch for me.

Yep, a five star read. The commentary on male chauvinism, racism, and religious fallacies is presented with deep understanding while keeping the read fun and lighthearted. The addition of Six Thirty's POV was a stroke of genius. A must read!
