Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus was recommended to me by a friend who said it was funny. I read it because several books I have read this year, although well written, have not been funny and were rather tedious to read. With this one, I kept having the feeling that I was reading a book that did not seem to be that good. Built around a mystery and the concept of female liberation, there were obvious hints throughout to guess what was coming at the end. Most of the characters were just going in circles involving frustration, depression, discrimination, etc., making the book much longer than it had to be. But I did find it funny at times. The dog was my favorite character and provided the most laughs. It's not a bad book, but it is a long way from being a good book, I think. I generously decided on a rating of 3 stars out of 5 out of love of the dog!
