Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

4.5

What a delightful debut novel! I read the entire book on a cross-country flight and it kept me entertained the entire time, which is difficult to do in a tiny, uncomfortable plane seat packed in like a sardine. I really enjoyed Ms. Garmus's witty writing style and how she voiced the characters...especially the dog. I think the very serious and traumatic aspects of this book (sexual assault and power) actually balanced out the sometimes over-the-top cheekiness that leaned in the direction of caricature. I really look forward to whatever Bonnie Garmus writes next!
