Where'd You Go, Bernadette
by Maria Semple
I finished this book a few weeks ago and the more I think about the story as a whole the less I am liking it. Ok, so this book is different. The first 3/4 of this book are told through emails, letters, memos, etc. as Bee tries to piece together the reason for her mother’s disappearance. I don’t usually go for satire books because I find them hard to follow and I can’t really get into the story. This book was no exception. I didn’t really enjoy this book. While it really tried to be funny at times, I thought all the characters’ dialect was too similar and it was confusing to figure out who’s POV I was reading from. I thought it was a little sexist at times, especially when the women were labeled as crazy. By the end I was like “I don’t really care where Bernadette went I just want to be done with this book.” This book has been getting a lot of hype and I was wicked disappointed with the overall story. Maybe the movie will be better.
