M A Spiro asked Bonnie Garmus:

The fact that you are a copywriter (I'm a science/PR writer) and this is your debut gives me hope there's still a chance I'll write that book that's been simmering on the back Bunsen burner of my brain. I enjoyed Lessons in Chemistry thoroughly. I wish I'd been more like Elizabeth Zott in my early professional attempt to become a laboratory scientist. Are you happy with the Apple TV adaptation?

Bonnie Garmus There's plenty of time for you to write your book, so don't worry! You just have to find a way to make the time.

As for the Apple series, I wasn't really involved in it. I didn't write it and have only seen a rough cut, but I knew going in that adaptations aren't meant to be the novel. A series is a completely different medium, and I think it's really important to trust other creative people!

Fran asked Bonnie Garmus:

Bonnie~Just wanted to say thank you for this book. I really loved it and have listened to/read it several times already. (Six-thirty's POV was a stroke of brilliance.) I also wanted to say that the interview you did at the end of the audiobook was really great and people should make sure to listen to that as well. (I need a question mark in order to post this, so here it is ? lol)
