where'd you go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

link

Lauren Conrad has a book club through her website.  i have never been able to follow along with the book club because i've always had too much school or work or whatever.  i was so excited that this time i was able to keep up!

'where'd you go, Bernadette' was an interesting book.  it was written more as different forms of correspondence between people.  it was a book within a book as well.  most of the book were e-mails back and forth between character.  the daughter in the book did some narrating in parts to help the book along.  i think that's why this made the book such an easy and quick read.  it's almost like you are snooping on someone's e-mails ;)

the book is about a girl, Bee, who's mother goes missing.  the mom is very antisocial and she gets overwhelmed easily.  Bee decides she wants to take a trip to Antarctica, and so when Bernadette goes missing, they assume she is overwhelmed by the trip and some other things going on in their lives.  Bee is determined to find her mother, even though everyone thinks she has died.

it was a good book that kept me interested throughout.  it was a quick read, and i would definitely recommend it.  it was also fun to follow along with the book club and see what others had to say about the book as well.
