TW: Sexual assault

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott …

Decent

4 stars

3.5, rounded up.

Overall found this to be enjoyable.

Definite trigger warnings for sexual assault, though.

I've seen quite some negativity about the book being toted as a comedy, lighthearted, etc. This didn't have any impact on me before reading as I go into every book as blind as I can.

I did have a hard time with believing that the characters in this world are from the 60's with the extreme progressive attitude towards women's rights and being non-religious. Every time something from the time frame was mentioned (i.e. black & white tvs), it threw me for a bit of a loop. Took away from the overall vibe I was getting from the book.

Is it one I will buy and keep on my shelf? No. Am I mad that I read it? No.
