Join us for Session 1 of our Lessons in Chemistry book club discussion as we dive deep into Bonnie Garmus’s bestselling novel and the unforgettable Elizabeth Zott. In this episode, we talk about:
✨ Elizabeth Zott’s bold fight against sexism in the workplace
✨ The emotional impact of Calvin’s character arc and untimely death
✨ Our mixed feelings on the Supper at Six timeline framing
✨ Why Six-Thirty the dog has completely stolen our hearts
✨ The powerful themes of feminism, found family, and resilience
We also compare the Apple TV+ series with the book, chat about the era’s challenges for women, and even share drink pairings (like Limoncello Spritz + Educated Guess Cabernet) for your own book club night.
Whether you’ve read the book, watched the series, or are just curious what all the hype is about, this discussion will have you nodding along, laughing, and reflecting on how much things have—and haven’t—changed since Elizabeth Zott’s time.
