I picked this book because so many people told me it was “amazing!” and it was good, but I think it was a little overhyped. I thought that Elizabeth Zott did not develop as a character nearly as much as the others, which was the most frustrating because we spent the most time with her. 

I also though

the ending where Elizabeth meets Calvin’s mom was very anticlimactic and felt very much like a tag on. I wanted it to end after Elizabeth quit Supper at Six, and just to see a bit of how she embraced the life she had or was going to make for herself. I wanted to see her MAKE A LIFE for herself rather than have another thing handed to her by Calvin’s mom no less.
