kmuskiewicz 's review for:
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
by Maria Semple
I thought at first this book was going to be a more fun version of "Reconstructing Amelia", with less loathsome main characters. But it turned out to be so much better than that. Bee searches for her mother, who disappears before their Antarctica trip. The book says it tells the story from Bee's perspective, but really I think it tells it from many perspectives, as Bee collects letters, e-mails, and various other documents to tell the story of what seemed to have happened and what really happened. I enjoyed how characters were portrayed through different perspectives, and how characters actually changed in this book, and tried to make up for things they have done. People in this book were real, and flawed, and struggling, and just trying to get along in life the best way they could. Highly enjoyable.
