Where’s You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple was far more enjoyable than I expected it to be. I think it wove together perfectly. Even though there are gaps in the narrative, it flows seamlessly, and as everything unfolds so does the reader’s understanding of characters, motivations, and intentions. This book took turns I wasn’t expecting, and though it didn’t get an audible gasp, it did get a solid “oh damn!” If you’re looking for an enjoyable, contemporary adventure, check out this book.
