Lessons in Chemistry in On The Same Page

I really liked this book. It was funny where I was laughing out loud, it was witty and snarky but also had me in tears a few times. I actually didn't think it was going to have such a heavy dose of sadness. I didn't really know what I was picking up when I started reading, I just knew it was popular. I am really glad I was a follower to read this one. I will probably think about this book quite often in the future. ...more

It’s always interesting when you pick up (read: finally get around to) a book which is so universally praised and recommended. Having high expectations can also lead to being more critical, or even when something is good, it doesn’t quite live up to the hype. Happily though, this book is all that was promised, and more. I absolutely loved it.
