Lisa Wright asked this question about Lessons in Chemistry:
Am I the only one who was furious about the pink chick-lit, rom-com cover on this book? It belittles the book in exactly the same way Elizabeth Zott is belittled!
Andrea Gah yes! I'm late to this conversation but I am only now listening to this incredible, empowering book and it's equally empowering protagonist. Do you…moreGah yes! I'm late to this conversation but I am only now listening to this incredible, empowering book and it's equally empowering protagonist. Do you want to know why I never picked it up before - BECAUSE OF THE COVER! And I know Elizabeth Zott would agree with me. It's stereotypical chick-lit rom-com style and totally missed the demographic and the point. Pink? PINK?!? I'm so glad to hear the author's experience below because YIKES. I'm listening to it on Audible which I love - and WILL buy the book with an alternative cover because I so much want it in my library. Or maybe buy both covers and use it as an ironic object lesson for my daughter. (less)
