Books & Brunch: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

Join us for our ninth book club meeting! Now a Disney+ series and a #1 bestseller with more than 8 million copies sold, *Lessons in Chemistry* has captivated readers since its debut in 2022. \*PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST\* We will have brunch and chat about the novel! *Description:* Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, she would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an *average* woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
