This book was beautiful, I was hooked right away. There is a need for a suspension of belief for the daughter and dog POV, but the characters were so lovable it was easy to believe that the four year old acted like an adult. I picked up the book from clips of the apple tv show and expected the show in the book to be a main point, but it really was not. It was about walking through life with Elizabeth Zott as she works to be taken seriously as a chemist while keeping true to herself.
