Very well written, it got my attention almost immediately and made me want to read further. The plot was inspiring, but not that original; A lot of it focuses on the tragic past and trauma of the heroine, who manages to climb up despite a lot of challenges (ex. sexism, rape, death) because of her stupendous intellect. I guess I'm a fan of more atypical plots. But still very much enjoyed reading this book (especially the chemistry parts of it) and I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to read an entertaining and relaxing book!
