In 2000, I intended to buy the classic “Middlemarch”. I accidentally came home with, “Middlesex”. I got about 15 pages in and was like… where’s the loamy moors and carriages and bored white aristocracy?
-Middlesex turned out to be fantastic!

To me this would be Lessons in Chemistry. I thought it was gonna be a cute rom com (I didn’t read the back) maybe between a teacher and a student. I read it, and it was about a female scientist in the 1950s-60s that becomes a single mother. I adored this book, the feminism and the messages were all amazing, and it was so beautifully written that I cried just purely bcs of how beautiful if was. I think about this book… absolutely all the time, and I’d initially expected it to be a quick rom com easy read
