Lessons in Chemistry

~2.5 stars

Have you ever wondered how a modern day feminist would survive in 1950s?
Bonnie Garmus certainly has and she believes that as long as the said feminist is resilient, she can single handedly change the system that is actively trying to suppress her.
It is honestly a scientific fairytale, imagine if a Disney princess did chemistry!
How fantastic!

In all seriousness, this book doesn't take any of its characters and their plights seriously but as nothing more than a plot point.
I stopped expecting any sort of story with real, multidimensional characters at around the 50 page mark.
Ngl, that's the best decision I could've made because after that the book became somewhat tolerable.
