A review by laurenandrikanich
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

emotional funny reflective medium-paced

• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

i liked that bernadette’s character did not become compromised by being a “redeemed woman.” she still had that erratic-ness about her, just in a healthier way. i liked hating all of the characters in different capacities throughout the novel, and i liked bee. i love seeing daughters be odd and spiteful and loving in all the ways their mothers are.
