Though I had been excited to get my hands on a copy of this book, I was a little hesitant to dig in because the reviews on Goodreads were so mixed. But 15 pages or so in, I knew this book was for me. The book is told through Bee, Bernadette's daughter, as she attempts to piece together her mother's disappearance. While Bernadette is actually present through a lot more of the book than I thought she would be, this did not actually bother me; instead, it was nice to get to know her and her eccentricities first. I loved the seemingly random emails and letters that are used in the first part of the book. I found them humorous and enjoyed learning about the characters through them. Yes, the events are absurd, yes the characters are unrealistic, but that's what makes this book so charming. It's a rollercoaster ride of privilege and eccentricities that constantly surprises you. As someone who studies architectural history, I also really enjoyed the fact that Bernadette is an architect and the various digs at contemporary architecture and architectural practice. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and would recommend to anyone who enjoys satire.
