Lessons in Chemistry was my book of the year. I just loved it. Bonnie really struggled to get published, which seems hard to believe now. I think originally it had been a much longer story, parts of which she still has up her sleeve for another book. But she just hit it pitch perfect with this one. I thought the Apple adaptation was very good. They did stay fairly faithful to the book at first, certainly the spirit of it, but it was a bit rushed later on. I thought they could have taken longer over the last part of the story to tell it properly. Still a very good series though. Cast, production design and writing were great.

She told me she is working on another book that’s quite different. Also, she wrote another one that she just can’t get published.I enjoyed the adaptation too. On a tangent : Are you watching Palm Royale? It’s so good!

I noticed that the other day then forgot about it! Thanks for the tip. It's on my next-up list now.

I love how your commitment and persistence paid off. It’s a lovely photograph too. Maybe one day you will look back with a less critical eye and it be a fond moment captured perfectly.
