Kajal asked Bonnie Garmus:

Really loved your book Lessons in Chemistry. You portrayed discrimination against woman in the industry very nice. Character of E.Z was the definition of a Feminist I feel. Are you planning on writing more of books like Lessons in Chemistry ?

Bonnie Garmus Hi Kajal! I'm not writing a second feminist novel (although my new book has a feminist character in it). I wanted to explore other themes and interests in this second book and I've really enjoyed being in their heads. Thanks for your kind words.

Vicky Michaud asked Bonnie Garmus:

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! (?)

I am co-directer of a 1 and 2 mile cable swim (quarter mile course no flip turns) in Charlottesville, VA reading "Lessons" now. Well done. I captained a Channel relay years ago. Like to come swim with us 6/3? The water is warm! www.chrisgreenecableswim.com John Post

Anna Reads Mysteries asked Bonnie Garmus:

Hi Bonnie - first of all, amazing book! Have you considered writing a companion novel based on Harriet Sloane? I really enjoyed her character and I think people would love the chance to dive into her story deeper. (apologies if this was already asked, I scanned through the questions and did not see it)
