Really enjoyed this book, definitely some serious trigger warnings. I found some parts dark but found it really realistic and relatable. Very true life feeling story and interesting to see her journey through it.

Loved this book! It dealt with issues that made me mad (mainly sexism) but kept it mostly light and humorous.

I really wish the dialogue wasn’t so corny. NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT😭 The main character is autistic coded but in the most unlikeable way possible. This book feels like peak feminism for WASPs, which is probably why it’s so popular.

I loved this book and loved the character Elizabeth Zott. This is a great representation of what women during that time frame and continue to struggle with in the world (certainty not to the same extent). There are great characters who steal your heart and you can't help but root for as they struggle through the ups and downs of life. I ADORED the chapters/insights from 6:30's perspective ❤️
