Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Could not put this book down until I had finished reading it! We all have thoughts and feelings expressed by Bernadette. But do they take is to the extremes that she faced? A fun book to read and ponder.

Even though this was recommended by my daughter and it is on our bookclub short list, I really didn't love this book and find its premise preposterous. The characters are amusing if you don't take them seriously. For people who like Seattle it has a sense of place you may enjoy, especially the Microsoft aspect. All in all I wouldn't recommend it.

I can't put into words the joy this book brought me while I was reading it. As a teacher, I totally understand some of the things Bernadette goes through and find it hilarious her reaction to everything. Although I did find some of the things in this plot to be a little unrealistic, it didn't change the way I felt about this book after I was done.

Semple does an amazing job with this novel, incorporating different writing techniques and literary devices, which made this read even better than what I anticipated.

Can I also say that I love the fact that it takes place in Seattle.

Funny funny funny. A hilarious send-up of both east and west coast rich.

This book was so easy to read. I loved that the first half was a compilation of letters and used multiple perspectives to tell the background story. Bernadette is kind of a shitty mom at times, and a bit too Moira Rose self indulgent during others - but at the end of the day I liked her and thought that it was an exciting story. The architectural history was creatively and engagingly written
