Why read it?
1 author picked Chemistry as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I devoured this book. It’s charming and funny, but this is one of those books where I loved it because of the main character. I’ve struggled with indecisiveness in my life and found that part very relatable. We really get inside her head. The voice is unique and the sentence structure is short and choppy. A quick wonderful read.
From Lisa's list on to read if you need a dose of serotonin.
