Dedication written by my 15 year-old son in his girlfriend's Lessons in Chemistry X-mas gift: "This book gives an important message to respect and appreciate the women around us and to treat them as equals. I find this message reflects my feelings perfectly about you. I appreciate you lots for who you are, and you are detrimentally important to me. I will never treat you in any other way." So thankful, BG! (?)

You have an amazing son! Good job, mom! I love hearing from teenage boys who can see how sexism diminishes everyone. His dedication is the kind of thing that gives me great hope for the next generation. Thanks for sharing.

I watched the TV series first and then bought the book and read it at once! Amazing storytelling, I enjoyed it so much. I hope you carry more stories, and I'll be reading them all! I only have one question - have you always known that you'd like to write a book or did it just happen?

I try to write POV in creative writing but seem to be the only one in the group,sigh. Well, when Six- Thirty started to talk I was thrilled ! I am going to recommend Lessons to my CW tutor. She recommended Terry Pratchett for me . I am reading so many books at once but love Discworld the most for spirit lifting. Sort of amazing that Pratchett was a(n?) Humanist and so am I . And Elizabeth ... Next one... pleeease?

Ms. Garmus, I just wanted to say thank you for writing Lessons in Chemistry. It is exactly what I needed as a junior at Butler University in Indy, IN, USA studying Biochemistry with a Neuroscience minor. I was truly inspired by your words, through EZ especially. As a young female in the chemistry field, I have never related to a book more in my life. Thank you. What is the most rewarding part of your chemistry career?
