Bonnie Garmus joins Zibby to talk about her debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry, which has already been optioned for Apple TV by Brie Larson and is this month's GMA Book Club pick. Bonnie shares how the process of selling this book differed drastically from her previous novel (which was rejected ninety-eight times), where she learned the chemistry included in the story, and what moment in her professional history inspired her to write the first chapter of this project. The two also chat about how cooking is a form of chemistry and what Bonnie is reading right now.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3uXabtGBookshop: https://bit.ly/3j9rN07Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
