Goodness, this book is the definition of perseverance. I almost gave it up and returned it to the library so many times. I could not believe a book with this following, all these awards and accolades...could be so terrible. It took exactly 214 pages to get interesting and ended before 400. The writing was dry, the chapters long, the characters forgetful. I found myself a few times having to go back and remember who someone was after being casually mentioned once four chapters ago. Needless to say, I had to work almost two full months to complete this book. Am I glad I did? Yes, because I do not like giving up on books. Also no, because I could have spent that time reading something that could grab and keep my attention full time. I'm interested to watch the adapted show and see how it gauges my attention. Perhaps this author isn't for me: regardless, it's done and I'm now ready for the next one.

Recommended by Rob, this is an excellent book! There were so many times I went to write down a line from the book, only to discover that it was an entire scene that was so incredibly well done that I wanted to hold onto the whole thing.
I loved the neighbour, Harriet, the most. Her strong personality and how she swept into the Zott family felt like wind.
A particularly memorable line that Elizabeth Zott insisted on was "There's no such thing as an average housewife". I really appreciated the views on what it's like being a mother - oftentimes the struggles aren't shared as much as I think they should be, and there's enormous community and camaraderie in sharing.

I finally was able to finish this book after starting it earlier this year. Things got ahead of me and only now in recent times I got back into reading and have made more time for it. I was shocked at all the things she went through to get to where she is now. I feel like this book fights for change and to challenge those to go for what they believe in and to not let anyone tell you otherwise. It felt like it was similar to what people are fighting for today. Overall, a great read. I also believe there is a show based off of this book and from what I remember it is Brie Larson as the main character. I imagined her as I was reading this book. That's my next show for sure!

Everything was perfect about this book. Only for me personally, I wish the backstory was just slightly shorter so we get to the premise much quicker which was what was promised but maybe it’s just me being picky or impatient because it’s still perfectly written. Not everyone can write about something so sad and heavy with a touch of humour and yet keep the subject matter respectful. I think Garmus did a wonderful job doing so.
