Loved this book！

Catie Brown ，

I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would- mostly due to the wit from the protagonist。

Jamie Cruse Gooch ，

Favorite book of 2023

The hype is well deserved… surpassed my expectations！ Smart， funny， emotional and original！ Just read it！

Connie ，

If you like books with strong female characters， this is a must read。 I loved it。“…she only ever seemed to bring out the worst in men。 They either wanted to control her， touch her， dominate her， silence her， correct her， or tell her what to do。”Favorite quote: “Because while stupid people may not know they’re stupid because they’re stupid， surely unattractive people must know they’re unattractive because of mirrors。”

Merit Floerke ，

Fun， unique， daring。 I love her determination and persistence。 We make our own choices。

Laugh out loud funny？？？ Hardly。 I know this has been on the bestsellers list for a long time。 I decided to see why。 Its appeal？？ To me It is like people who can’t look away from a train wreck。 Oh， the tragedy， yet people want the disturbing details and a glimpse of the morbid。 That’s how I interpret the appeal of this book。 It wasn’t funny。 It was disturbing and while I understood the points made about how women were treated back then ， instead of communicating this， the dark humor totally negat Laugh out loud funny？？？ Hardly。 I know this has been on the bestsellers list for a long time。 I decided to see why。 Its appeal？？ To me It is like people who can’t look away from a train wreck。 Oh， the tragedy， yet people want the disturbing details and a glimpse of the morbid。 That’s how I interpret the appeal of this book。 It wasn’t funny。 It was disturbing and while I understood the points made about how women were treated back then ， instead of communicating this， the dark humor totally negates the redeeming value of trying to show the injustices。 I was very disappointed。 When I think of books that have made the bestsellers list in the past， this book， in my opinion， is not in the same league or even close。 No offense to the many that like this book。 I must be in the minority。 It was hard to read to the end。 I can’t think of an acquaintance I would recommend it to。 。。。more

Entertaining！ My favorite character was the dog。 I like the villain vs。 hero theme throughout。 I recommend this book when you feel like reading something light。

Caroline Silva ，

Esse livro conta uma história de amor bem exótica， mas também fala sobre mulheres corajosas e dispostas a mudar o mundo。 Tem química， pessoas legais， um programa de culinária e um cachorro que conhece 918 palavras e se chama Seis e Meia （horário em que foi encontrado）。Eu fiquei simplesmente apaixonada por esse livro， por Elizabeth Zott， pela Mad， pelo Calvin Evans。 É tudo tão magnífico， e tem tudo de que eu gosto: pessoas inteligentes， romance， química， animais e comida。Até agora eu estou chocad Esse livro conta uma história de amor bem exótica， mas também fala sobre mulheres corajosas e dispostas a mudar o mundo。 Tem química， pessoas legais， um programa de culinária e um cachorro que conhece 918 palavras e se chama Seis e Meia （horário em que foi encontrado）。Eu fiquei simplesmente apaixonada por esse livro， por Elizabeth Zott， pela Mad， pelo Calvin Evans。 É tudo tão magnífico， e tem tudo de que eu gosto: pessoas inteligentes， romance， química， animais e comida。Até agora eu estou chocada com a criatividade dessa autora。 Os pensamentos de Seis e Meia são os melhores， e esse nome diferente me conquistou， ainda mais depois de descobrir que a autora tem um cachorro chamado 99。Minha vontade é panfletar esse livro para todo mundo。 Com certeza recomendo， e com certeza farei uma releitura em algum momento。 。。。more

Eva Monahan ，

Well written tragic love story with underlying issues of the 1960s USA。 Ending was predictable， but much needed after what the main character endured。

Teresa Moyer ，

Spectacular Spectacular on so many levels！ You will love all of the quirky characters and the look back at the inequality of women。

Suzanne ，

4 5 stars。 I really liked his book - the writing and the story。

Gail ，

Great book！ Fun to read， but also insightful。

Pablo ，

Amazing read。。。Loved this book。 At times infuriating and frustrating， at times full of pain， and also compassion and love。Worth staying with it。。。

Susan ，

I loved this book！ I loved the intelligent， pragmatic Elizabeth Zott。 I felt her struggles， and understand how even though men have behaved badly towards us， smart women find a way to move on。 All of the characters were so well developed！

Marsha ，

A tale of patriarchy， in which the good men are very good， and the bad men are very bad。 Ultimately， the protagonist triumphs in a rather incredible ending。

Liz Lucius ，

I loved everything about this book

Sarah Moorefield ，

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 While the characters were likable， this book is mis marketed。 It is political and repeatedly addresses the character’s beliefs。 While I don’t hold anyone’s religious views against them， the author is often hostile and seems intolerant when writing the Christian characters。 This book should be marketed as what it is。 It is not really funny or quirky。

Kristin Madaj ，

For some reason， I just had a feeling this book would drag for me， and I I've been putting off reading it for months， but I loved it。 10/10。 I love being a woman！ For some reason， I just had a feeling this book would drag for me， and I I've been putting off reading it for months， but I loved it。 10/10。 I love being a woman！ 。。。more

Kenneth Kim ，

Amazing book about feminism and overall great characters！

Kristen ，

Best book I’ve read this year

Melissa ，

A rough beginning， but very enjoyable once I got into it。 Content warning: graphic description of sexual assault in an early chapter。

Albina Beauregard ，

Great book！

This book feels hard to rate。 Was i crying as I finished it？ Yes， I was。 Was it written in a smooth fashion that I was able to swallow it up in one cozy weekend。 Yes， it was。 But there was still something about this book that I did not love。 I think the humor does not work at all times。 It's like it's trying to walk an absurdist humor line while also taking itself so seriously。 I enjoyed the read but not in the way i do with books I love where i need to shout it from the rooftops。 This book feels hard to rate。 Was i crying as I finished it？ Yes， I was。 Was it written in a smooth fashion that I was able to swallow it up in one cozy weekend。 Yes， it was。 But there was still something about this book that I did not love。 I think the humor does not work at all times。 It's like it's trying to walk an absurdist humor line while also taking itself so seriously。 I enjoyed the read but not in the way i do with books I love where i need to shout it from the rooftops。 。。。more

I loved it， and I had to stay up to finish it。 It is very true to the 60s women's lives。 I plan to watch the appletv version soon。 I loved it， and I had to stay up to finish it。 It is very true to the 60s women's lives。 I plan to watch the appletv version soon。 。。。more

i liked it but was really confused most of the time

Jennifer Buchbinder ，

I didn’t actually enjoy this clever story。 Great characters and interesting story， but the meanness of people was so constant and awful。 Not enjoyable until the last third if the book。

Amber Berkoski ，

One of the best books I’ve read in a long， long time。 Irreverent。 Heartwarming。 Heartbreaking。 Confounding。 Confronting。 A time capsule for women of those times， a bright review of how we’ve risen， with harsh reminders of how far we haven’t。 And yet， we’re not hit over the head with it。 It hits you in the solar plexus。 Less is more。 Its measured。 And it lasts。 This one will be with me for awhile。 A woman who dared to be a scientist first。 A surprise lover。 An unexpected mom。 And a national sensa One of the best books I’ve read in a long， long time。 Irreverent。 Heartwarming。 Heartbreaking。 Confounding。 Confronting。 A time capsule for women of those times， a bright review of how we’ve risen， with harsh reminders of how far we haven’t。 And yet， we’re not hit over the head with it。 It hits you in the solar plexus。 Less is more。 Its measured。 And it lasts。 This one will be with me for awhile。 A woman who dared to be a scientist first。 A surprise lover。 An unexpected mom。 And a national sensation。 Must read。 。。。more

John Frankham ，

A very uneven and overlong book making serious points in a humorous way about the difficulty for women to be taken seriously at work and in life in the 1950s and 1960s。Pretty tedious for 300 pages， then effective and affective in bringing the plot to a conclusion in the last 90 pages。If it hadn’t been a book club choice I would have abandoned it early on。
