desertcart.com: Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel (Audible Audio Edition): Bonnie Garmus, Miranda Raison, Bonnie Garmus, Pandora Sykes, Random House Audio: Books

Review: The Top Book of 2022 - I join a long list of reviewers who give this book 5 enthusiastic stars. Like these reviewers, I, too, was drawn deeply into this quirky and charming book. I also immediately contacted one of my reader friends to exhort them- “you gotta read this book!” This is truly a special story. I will say though, that the cover mislead me and I can’t imagine that the main character, Elizabeth Zott, would have approved of it. Yes, it’s attractive, but the cover made me think this was a rom-com. Elizabeth would never read, yet alone appear, in a romantic comedy. Character driven, with a bit of magical realism, this book is about Elizabeth, chemist, mother, tv star. As fascinating as Elizabeth is, it’s the dog in the story who steals the show and who truly keeps his human family going. Another unforgettable character is Elizabeth’s young daughter, “Mad”. She seems like a genius, but according to Elizabeth, she is not- she’s just well-taught (by Elizabeth). Most reviewers mention these three characters only, but let’s not forget several other endearing characters: Elizabeth’s interfering but stalwart neighbor, Elizabeth’s TV boss, and Wakely the minister. OK, I’ll also give a shout-out to Elizabeth’s obstetrician and all the rowers. And then there’s Evan. With humor, wit, heart, and earnest naivety, Elizabeth takes on the world of the 1950’s-60 in California. She is a chemist, who knocks out her kitchen to make a lab, and who brews coffee in a twenty-step process using a Bunsen burner. Not surprisingly, her world is not ready for an independent, scientific, slightly off-kilter woman. As you read, you may get caught up in the wit and humor, and Elizabeth’s whirl as a TV cooking show host is fabulous. But there are serious themes in this book. Many reviewers mention the discrimination of women, but hardly any mention the criticism of God and religion. I also agree that this book deserves to be a top book of 2022. Highly recommended! Thanks to NetGalley and Doubleday Books for the advance digital review copy. This is my honest review.
Review: Fabulous fun, heart-provolking, and truly interesting...excellent writing. - One of my all time favorite books. Lots of other reviews on here will give you the story line so I won't. This book kept my reading from Page 1 to the end. Our book club loved it. Even my husband loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not "sappy" after all
*by C***H on February 11, 2026*

Just finished Lessons in Chemistry, which I had resisted reading because I thought it might be too "sappy". Happy to say that it was not! I finally gave in to reading it when it was a Kindle special at Amazon. If anyone else is hesitating for the same reason, you might want to give it a try. It's fairly lighthearted (although it does have some truly sad parts), it's a quick read and as a “dog person” I enjoyed the dog’s character in the book very much.
