42. Where'd You Go, Bernadette - Maria Semple

Alright let me start off by saying that I picked this up because my Aunt lent it to me saying she really liked it and then after having it sit there for a month I went to a friends house over the weekend and knew the bus ride to get there would be long, so I brought one book only to read and it was this one. I didn't finish it on the bus there or while I was there or on the bus back. However, I did finish it two days later because wow there's a lot to take in. So much to try and figure out.

Too many things I want to know!!!

This story is told a little differently. It's a fourteen/fifteen year old girl who lives in Seattle with her two awesome parents. They're both a little crazy but they are super awesome.

Her mom is literally the coolest mom ever (besides my mom obviously) even if she seems to need help. She doesn't REALLY need help, she just needs to be shoved in the right direction once again. And that's exactly what happens.

The way it's written is a bunch of documents like; emails, FBI files, memos and notes. It's very weird and a tad harder to get into but I still loved it very much. Every once and while you see a note Bee made or one of her memories from when these things happened which is very nice.

I was also told this was supposed to be a humour book? Not too sure about that still. There are some humorous moments but nothing that I think (personally) that would classify this under the category of humour.

I just found it a tab suspenseful and I wanted to keep reading it to find out where it goes. The characters were so interesting I wanted so badly to learn more about them and that's what kept me hooked.

There is still so much I want to know about and here are some of them: (SPOILERS MAYBE)

-The baby?? Like?? Tell me more!!!
-The baby's mom? (I can't remember her name)
-Their crazy neighbour and her son?
-The neighbour's husband?
-What did her mom do about that lady and the baby? Like I want to know more!!
-Tell me everything about that new building she's making!
-Does Bee like her knew half-sibling?
-Does she get along with the other lady's kids?
-Or the mother to her half sibling?
-How does her dad feel really?
-Where does he work now? Also, is he loving it?
-Basically just let me know how all the characters are doing.

Please, please Maria Semple! Please give me more



If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.

Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
