I started Where'd You Go, Bernadette thinking it was going to be an Oscar Wilde-type comedy of errors, and it started that way, but it quickly became so much more.

It kept me guessing until the end, and on the way there, I laughed, I cried, I rooted for and against characters, I loved every revelation, and I could not put the book down.
