Lessons in Chemistry is icredibly well written, the pacing is amazing the characters are all fully formed and no one feels like a cardboard cut out.
The reading experience is fantastic, some books you read because you want answers to something, or because you like a singular character, but some books you read because they flow so well that you basically float through the book. This is one of those.
The Author uses multiple POVs, and does an amazing job of it, never once are you asking why someone's thoughts are relevant or quationin who it is that your reading.
The story comes full circle, nothing is left dangling, no threads are untied, and the ending is *chefs kiss*. You close the book feeling like it's complete, and wanting more, but aknowledging that anything else would ruin the finality and drag too long.
All of the (main) characters are very well written, and almost feel like friends. They have flaws, they have quirks, but most of all, they're very human and very well developed.

Die Geschichte war überraschend hoffnungsvoll und inspirierend, obwohl das Thema Feminismus in einer von Männern geprägten Domäne zunächst sehr entmutigend wirkt.
Außerdem wurde gleichzeitig gezeigt, das Hausfrau sein ein bedeutender, anstrengender Job ist, der jeder Frau genauso offen steht, wie es jeder andere Job auch sein sollte, ohne irgendwelche Berufungen/Entscheidungen schlecht darzustellen.

Some spoilers further:
However, I wish I had checked for content warnings before reading because there are considerable themes of SA. I’m struggling with how necessary these multiple scenes and references were as a plot point since this wasn’t based on a true story. I know it was incredibly common in the workplace without consequence in a way that we have improved somewhat as a society today. But for a modern audience when 1 in 6 women have faced SA personally, who is the audience this narrative is trying to convince the severity of the situation to? We know the realities, and Zott being mistreated in the workplace without SA as part of the story feels like it should have been impactful enough. Not to mention how glossed over instances of pedophilia was for male characters. I guess in sum I feel those very triggering topics could have been handled better.
