General Description:
Bernadette is infamous among the Seattle elite. However, one day, she goes missing. B, her daughter, receives a lot of documents leading up to Bernadette's disappearance that she explores in order to hopefully find her mother. Will B be able to track her down, even if she's all the way across the work? Bernadette has disappeared once before, so will she be able to do it again?
The goods:
- This was such a fun format book between the emails, letters, and transcripts. I couldn't put it down!
- The adventure you go on in this book and the character development is a bit confusing but engaging at the same time.
- I really like B's perspective of the entire situation and am glad we get to hear her voice.
The loss of two stars:
- There is some outdated language that did make me a bit uncomfortable while reading.
- IT JUST ENDS, there is no resolution. I mean this is probably one of the books that will stick with me simply because I have a million questions.
Overall, do not pick up this book if you need everything wrapped up in a nice bow. It will haunt you, but if you like books with open endings and quirky adventures, this could be the book for you!
