Review: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

Publication Date: January 29, 2019

My rating: ★★★

My first thought after finishing this book was "what did I just read?!", but I get a feeling that that's the whole point of this book. This story as a whole, like the character of Bernadette Fox, is a complete puzzle that you never really get figured out. Bernadette is a mysterious woman, and every time I thought I had something figured out the story took a drastic turn that surprised me! I was surpised by the writing style, which is a lot of correspondence between several different combinations of people. With each new document or email I had to remind myself who was who and what their relationship was. 🤷🏼‍♀️ There is a lot going on behind the scenes in this book, so don't get too comfortable thinking you know everything! Three words for this book are quirky, (sometimes) funny, strange.
