Historia
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Off putting and distracting
Revisado: 02-22-25
I found the personification of the dog and the 4 year old who thinks, understands and communicates like an adult very off putting and overall distracting from the story which is otherwise lovely. These factors make it feel so far fetched it’s easy to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Felt lazy
Revisado: 02-17-25
Good story that draws you in, but it feels unfinished and lazy. Like someone started writing a novel and then went “ehhh, I’m bored let’s end it here” which ended up making the whole thing feel pointless and like a waste of time

Very well written
Revisado: 02-01-25
The author has a beautiful way with words that pulls you in. Some books are great stories with bland words. This is a good story with great words.

Nothing special
Revisado: 12-30-24
The fact the main character is British but had an American accent really threw me. There was a lot of small details the author couldn’t keep straight throughout which didn’t impact the story line but was annoying. The book was good enough to finish but overall meh.

Trigger warning
Revisado: 12-07-24
This book is very captivatingly written, sucks you in from the opening paragraph. However, the level of grooming and pedophilia in this book is quite much and it is written in a way that feels like it’s trying to explain why it isn’t actually a bad thing.

Great writing, not predictable
Revisado: 06-03-24
The author is brilliant, great vocabulary and she sprinkles a good sense of humor throughout with some of her descriptors. “She stood there like an asparagus” will forever live in my head. Great twists and turns, I thought it was predictable to an extent but I was wrong. Great listen

Good story

The narration of the baby voice and the speed reading during intense parts made the book less enjoyable. Good story though :)

Historia
If my childhood taught me anything, it was to survive. Now I have a deep-rooted mistrust of people and a wall of steel and ice surrounding my heart. So, when Reed Ryan steps into my life, I know I need to keep him far away. He’s everything I grew up hating. Fighting. Fleeing. Devastatingly handsome, he looks like a drunken regret and has heartbreak written over every inch of his body - literally. He’s the quintessential bad boy...and he’s a cop. But the man is my undoing.

Good story

Good story, but the author uses the same descriptive words repeatedly and it takes away from the story to me.

It’s officially booty o’clock, I’m alone again in my kitchen choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake…and I’m pretty sure I just got drunk texted by the man I have a ginormous crush on. I’ve been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman’s dimples for two months, and even though I’m sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity on mine. It’s the middle of the night, and I just wanna talk to him. So I text him back.

Too much fluff, easily predicted
Revisado: 01-26-24
There were too many pointless story lines in an attempt to distract from how painfully obvious the killer was. Very annoying and no mind blowing reveal to make up for it.
