[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m slogging through Lessons in Chemistry now and am about to abandon it. Came so highly rated, but I hate it. Worst kind of character stereotyping. I hate that the main character is a brilliant female chemist who is obliviously gorgeous and has more than “a touch of the tism.”[/quote] I didn't love it so much either. I really appreciate what the author did - but, like, give me that character but not gorgeous and tell me what happens. I guess I get why book characters are always like at least 75 percent more attractive than people in real life - but I feel like you can then default to a story about what happens when you are very beautiful, as opposed to what happens when all this other stuff is going on and you're dealing with it. Also get off my lawn. I did love the dog character, though/ [/quote]
