Feel-Good Must Read!

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus is my current “most huggable” book. It’s a jump-up-and-down, fist-in-the-air, triumphant (ultimately) feel-good book that leaves mere banner-waving “feminism” in the dust. Scathingly perceptive and human, hilarious and poignantly sad by turns, it’s an absolute “must read,” if you don’t want people to narrow their eyes and say, “What is WRONG with you?” Because if you don’t love Elizabeth Zott, her daughter Mad, and dog Six-Thirty, there is something very wrong with you. 
I give it 5 gigantic gold stars!

WARNING: it’s best not to read it a) on public transit, b) in a restaurant (for hygienic reasons), and/or c) too far from a toilet, unless you’re wearing Depends.
