Has any of you

Read Lessons in Chemistry (I havent watched the show yet so I don't know how in line it is) AND

Watched Rizzoli and Isles BECAUSE I HAVE SOME HEADCANONS

Mad Zott as Maura!!!! Elizabeth Zott as Maura's mother. Think about it, she would've been born in the 60s, she would be the precocious little girl that never fit in and was literal and observant and scientifically minded, UGH this fits so so so well

little Madeline Zott is so stinking cute in the new episode I can’t 🥲

I love how this week's Lesson in Chemistry takes Elizabeth & Mad’s life changes to center stage (Brie Larson & Alice Halsey are DYNAMIC together).

Still, I wish it didn't leave Harriet in the wings as much.

Here's my "CH₃COOH" review!

Lessons in Chemistry Book Review

Lessons In Chemistry

Author: Bonnie Garmus

Description: Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.

But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with - of all things - her mind. True chemistry results..

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Review: Without expectations and just about a hum of what it was about, I started reading this book a few days ago. What I presumed was going to be a romantic adventure between possible rivalling scientists in the 60s, with a dash of hurt & comfort and a big splash of gender inequality, turned out to be much more profound and thought-provoking than imagined. 

However, the plot is lacking. It’s not an empty carcass by any means, but the story is sometimes singlehandedly driven by Grasmus incredibly knack for writing dynamically and the characters’ development. It’s, in other words, mostly character-driven. With this in mind, the characterisation and attention to detail was marvellous. Zott’s arc is complex, mosaic, and frustrating – which is why it’s so human. It’s a great depiction of the strength and determination of women, a showcase of the duality and unfairness of life. Despite its dramatisation, it feels like a good representation of unjustness. A terrific read within the range of the genre. 

As some final words I’d like to give a little heads-up. There are very triggering themes in Lessons in Chemistry, including a graphic SA scene close to the beginning. I would’ve appreciated the warning before reading, so here’s one for you.

I’ve recently read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and throughout the book, I kept thinking: Are Elizabeth and Mad on the autism spectrum?

I know that on their own, various character traits of theirs, if you also had that one, it wouldn’t signify that you might be autistic but there’s just something about the both of them that reads they’re both people with autism.

I don’t want any negativity directed my way, it’s just a thought I had.

I personally have autism (I was diagnosed as having aspergers when I was 21) and I’m fed up with the outdated thoughts of some, that just because someone has poor social skills and/or is incredibly intelligent (usually bordering on genius), that that’s a sign of autism. However, there’s just a variety of other traits they both have, that gives me this thought of mine.

Just wondered what everyone else thought really.
