Where’d You Go Bernadette? by Maria Semple
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

I had this on my TBR for awhile and was excited to find it on Audiobook! 🙌🏻 However; a few moments in I was realizing that as it’s a series of letters, emails, etc. it was a little bit harder to follow than I thought. 

The basis for this novel is that Bernadette’s daughter informs the family she wants to take a trip to Antarctica after a deal she made with her parents for good grades. 🧊 Before they can leave, however; her Mother goes missing. Follow the letters and emails from various characters as they try to piece together where Bernadette has gone. 📑 

All-in-all, I’m not entirely sure what I read. It definitely didn’t lack comedy and some tragedy 🎭 - and I think the idea behind the story was great. However; I gave it three stars because at times I felt I was severely confused or wondering where the story was going. Maybe - and I might someday - I would have enjoyed this more had I chose to read the physical copy! 📕
