Lessons in Chemistry

I really loved this book. I read this book for my book club. It was nothing like I imagined it would be... and I am so happy for that.
This book was funny, and heartbreaking, and inspiring... and so, so good.
I love the characters and their journey of discovery, self-acceptance, personal growth and forgiveness. I absolutely love Elizabeth. I admit that, more than once, I wanted to tell her: “You don't always have to swim against the current. Sometimes you can play the system , instead of fighting it”. But I am glad she would never had taken my advise. She would never have compromised her principles to make it easier on herself.
And I love this completely unlikely family she was able to gather around her.
“Let's say supper at six, then,” Elizabeth said, not wanting her to go. “The home lab. Everyone—you, Wilson, Mad, Sixty-Thirty, me, Harriet, Walter. You'll need to meet Wakely and Mason at some point, too. The whole family.”
