Lessons in Chemistry

A lot of the book, especially the first half, was hard to get through. I felt a lot of anger toward the main character's antagonists, who were all reflecting the norms of society at the time. It was especially blood-boiling to read about women not supporting women. Obviously, the book has a happy ending, with redemption for a few of the characters, but yea, I didn't know if I was going to be able to get through it.
