Content warnings included below, as there were a few that needed to be addressed 😫
I was looking for a relatively easy, light read and my friend recommended this. Although, as mentioned earlier, there are some content warnings that need to be included, this for the most part was sweet and terrific! Putting Elizabeth Zott, our protagonist, in 1960’s America made for a clearly misogynistic setting. However, she (mostly) thrives throughout and I appreciated all the loose strings getting pulled together for the end of the story ✨
I wasn’t expecting a link between Evans and Wakely, and I certainly did not realise Parker was going to be Evans’s mum 🥹 That was a gorgeous ending I thought!
If you’re looking for a book in which women strive in science and where systemic issues are mentioned, this one is for you 😊 4 out of 5 stars for me ✨
