I was pleasantly surprised by this book, though I am not sure why I expected anything different. Two things: most (essentially all) characters, including unpleasant ones, are portrayed with a bit of cheer and redemption. Also, there is a sneaky combination of meandering and economy in the prose.

Bernadette doesn’t belong in Seattle, but her husband is a big shot at Microsoft, so there she is. So different from all the other moms at her kid’s (Bee) school. In a wild series of events in which everyone acts without actually discussing anything with each other, Bernadette goes missing. Now it’s up to Bee to think like her mom to try to find her even though everyone else has given up hope. This book was hilarious and I loved it!
