Lessons in Chemistry: The modern classic multi-million-copy bestseller

I found this book frustrating because of the lack of growth of the main female lead, overall unbalanced character strengths, and absence of diversity in perspectives. She is never wrong, always knows the truth about life, is excellent at everything, and, of course, attractive. Although I love how the author has characters relating to each other for each scene, other than 1 or 2 characters, there seems to be little personal rather than just philosophical or perhaps scientific growth, depending on your point of view. Her cooking show has her being super respectful towards homemakers, but that doesn't make sense for her character, who doesn't understand women who are housewives. I found the book's representation of children and bullying frustrating

What a wonderful book. Loved the characters including six thirty of course, and the story, and was delighted that the baddies (most of them) got their comuppance. Laughed out loud at times and was even tearful at the end and sad that the story had to finish. Good ending though. On my list as one of the best ever books.

DNF this book, I stopped at the first few chapters. While I empathise with the sexism. that she faced in the STEM field, the protagonist Elizabeth is an incredibly annoying know-it-all and unlikeable person. Calvin is no better. I don't know if it's deliberate for the sake of character development or not.
