Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

3.0

This book is a weird mix of funny & sad that somehow works and I really don’t know what to make of it. The first part of the book made me laugh - the part with the sign had me in stitches! However, as the book progresses, Bernadette is getting more & more stressed out about their trip to Antarctica, she disappears. The second part of the book is about the aftermath of Bernadette’s disappearance and the impact this has on Elgin & Bee. I felt that the ending, while giving us an understanding of Bernadette and her state of mind, came off as rushed & a little flat.
