Feel Free by Zadie Smith. Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall. The tensions between the characters are so intriguing and the way that Rothman has written about a young woman to work in a hard STEM field is very fascinating, there's lots of amazing turns which will explore an interesting and beautiful prose!

The choices of Emily are so interesting and I'm sure everyone who reads this epic book will love it because it's an educational and quick novel! Mackenzie - PhDiva Books. Sometimes a book is so well-written that it brings a stark moment of clarity to my own life that is both uncomfortable and important.

I think this is what the J. Salinger may have described as the sound of one hand clapping This is not a romance, though it is a story about love. And this is an important distinction to make, I think. A romance implies a certain amount of fun, infatuation, and wooing. A story about love is different from a love story.

To me, The DNA of You and Me is truly a story about love, but it is the type of love that feels authentic and without the dramatic flair a novel normally brings. Aeden is worried about Emily starting rival research within their own lab, and Emily has never really learned how to connect with others.

Watching their love develop slowly, as they pushed through genetic research to understand the genes that relate to our olfactory sense, I found the humanization of the dry research lab to be one of the shining points to this book.

Emily herself is compelling, tragic, and root-able. She wears her loneliness like a suit of armor. She I confused over whether she should choose ambition or love. Or more specifically, whether she should choose her legacy or her happiness.

More nuanced, the story to me was about how hard it is to truly understand what we want when we are living it. But also that perhaps it is truly never too late. Opinions are my own.

Jen Ryland. I wish I had liked this more. The science part was interesting and it's true that scientific research is so unpredictable: you can spend hours and years and money on a scientific idea that goes nowhere, or you can randomly hit it right and change everything.

I was okay with the fact that the characters were cerebral some perhaps even on the spectrum rather than emotionally expressive. But the relationship between the main character and her love interest and all the plot points that revolved around that didn't work for me at all. That was the core of the story and it felt completely flat and empty of emotion.

The main character says she's not cut out for love blah blah - which I kind of liked by the way. Women in books and life! But then this character does exactly the opposite - she follows this weird guy around like a sad puppy.

She acts as if he were the greatest guy in the history of guys, when to me their relationship just felt like a series of sad random hook-ups where he has all the power. Then Emily starts doing crazy stuff - going behind his back to see his data and getting a female colleague fired because she's jealous of her. Then he completely betrays Emily, both professionally and emotionally -- maybe just to get rid of her? Years later she still has this strange fixation on him.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I think we all feel like mutants in our own way. As a child, Emily had an allergy to cut grass and had to stay indoors in the summer, essentially isolating her from playing around with kids her own age.

Raised only by her father as her mother dropped her off as a baby and never looked back, he immersed her a lot in his science work. Trying to isolate the genes that allow us to smell, with hopes of possibly one day fixing anosmia, Emily ends up in a lab rife with personal and job political pitfalls. The story started off with giving us a peak at the ending and then rewinding to show how Emily got where she was.

Told completely from Emily's point of view, the story is broken up into parts that worked really well to help conceptually understand where and how Emily is mentally and emotionally at each part.

The background on her childhood, reason for not being able to be outdoors, relationship with father, and how this molded her, gave a good emotional impact building block for why her work was important to her and even her feelings toward Aeden, her co-worker and love interest.

As this is, what I call, a slice of life story, it is a glimpse into one character's life, they and the other characters don't always act in ways that the reader wants them to. I thought it was interesting how the parallels were there to be drawn between Aeden and Emily's father. Emily mentions similarities between the two and then how she can't quite connect with Aeden the way she wants to, possibly why she very quickly became fixated on Aeden. Aeden was a bit hard to read as we don't get his point of view, did he feel guilt tripped or did his feelings just naturally grow from being around Emily?

However, this uncertainty did put the reader in the same boat with Emily and as she seems to struggle overall with human connection; you'll feel it. The science in the story was interesting and if you go in with the desire to soak in this world for awhile, you won't feel overwhelmed or lost. I'm definitely a layman with this field and thought everything was explained and relayed in a clear interesting manner, very few times did I feel maybe some in depth moments could be edited out.

I do wish I could have gotten a better feel for Emily and some of the emotional moments could have reached deeper; her relationship with her father seemed like a rich well. I also thought her relationship with her boss Justin could have been explored more. I did think, for a debut, the author had an amazing ease of writing style that flowed well and kept me engaged to keep reading; the pages flew by.

However, I ended up feeling like I didn't quite have a solid handle on Emily, her growth emotionally and career wise, was left somewhat open. Competitiveness and relationships in the workplace, why we do the things we do, and destiny versus our own decision making were all leading themes in this story about Emily as she searched for scientific and emotional answers. A slice of life story, where mice hold a lot of the answers.

Rothman's debut novel is a fierce and eloquent exploration of what it is to be a woman working in STEM - a scientist in the cut-throat world of cutting edge research and academia. It invites us into the heart and mind of Emily, a character we grow to respect and admire, who is faced with the messy business of a budding romance with a colleague, in the laboratory where she works. Should she allow herself to put all she holds dear at risk, or should she smell a lab rat?
