Lessons in Chemistry

I did not expect the book to be what it is, the covers chosen for it are quite the example on how women are not taken seriously. A whole book about the issue and you have the publishers treating the book the same way the character is treated, i dnt know how the writer agreed to it. From the cover i thought it' gonna be a cute romcom i can read in one day, turned out to be a quite interestingly woven unchronological narrative from a dozen POVs including one dog.

Anyway, it's a good book. It's not really about misogyny as much as misogyny being the main antagonist. It's what drives the hero's action. The book can get suffocating at times, but it doesn't turn too serious despite the tragedies unfolding. I wish the ending didn't unravel that quickly, gave me a deus ex machina feel, but all in all good book. 3.5/5
