Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

4.0

hopeful lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

I wasn't really expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did. I really enjoyed the format of this with a collection of correspondence and Bee interjecting here and there. I loved the subtle humor throughout and the topics of mental health. I loved the interactions between the characters. Even though some of them were a bit over the top, it really worked for the story. The main thing that didn't really work for me is how rambly it got at some points. Mainly when Bernadette was writing longer correspondence and some of Bee's narration. It definitely fit the characters, but I found myself wishing those parts would just be over. All in all, though, I had a good time with this one.
