Elizabeth might be the most fleshed out, well written and realistic character I have encountered in a while. I really cannot begin to describe her. She is not only awfully smart, but she's witty, empowering, and caring. 
She is not just a woman in STEM, she is THE woman in STEM.
On her cooking show, she didn't just teach her audience how to cook but empowered them to aspire to do something valuable with their lives, whatever they wished and longed for in their hearts. 

At the beginning, the flashbacks back and forth kind of confused me as I wasn't that into the book, but once you are catched up to everything she is, does and wants, is just a great journey from there.

The ending of the book scared me, but it was surprising how she stayed true to her character. I loved that the author did not shy away from just letting her stay on the cooking show forever, she went for that she loved and understood the most: chemistry. And I deeply admire her for that
