Sexism in the work place is still horrible and very much there, it's gotten better since Elizabeth Zott's time. But regardless this is an extremely relatable. I was beaming when Zott uplifted women and tried her best. 6:30 was charming and probably my favorite character.
I however HATE this cover. I'm sure if you look it up, the author also said they didn't love it. Which is why I want to get a UK cover. I borrowed this book from the library, and I had to wait a WHILE for it. But it was so worth it.
This is easily going to be one of my biggest summer read suggestions of this year.

I loved how each character was written and evolved by the end of the book, it fell like i was falling in love when they were, feeling thrilled and anxious and petrified with them. I personally don't relate to her personality as even if i remain even a little bit grounded to reality deep inside I'm a total optimist with a big smile, but i believe we all have an Elisabeth inside us, and of course a scientist.
Luckily I'm currently studying for my university entrance exams and the school chemistry material is enough for me to understand what the book talks about (most of the time), and even though i found the genius of 6:30 a bit extreme, it didn't matter. Any flaw in this book isn't enough for me to even put a 4.75 review.
It even motivated me and think of my own future and thoughts, which i believe is the true and honest meaning of this half a kilo of a book.
To those who haven't started yet, if you didn't manage to catch the point this far, i wish you a pleasant reading (as pleasant as it can get)
