Wow. So this book bounced all over the place and my brain still feels fizzy because there was a lot of things going on, but boy did I love this book! I loved Bernadette, Bee, their weird dog Ice Cream, and I loved the emails and letters between two women who I would have throttled if I ever met in r...

Well this was a fun indulgence with the best quirky characters I've met in a while. Bernadette, her family and the other characters in town were a trip. Her daughter may be one of the more wise teenagers I've met in books from a parent's angle. She also has devastatingly good taste in music, and she...

At first I thought this was going to be a book that derived its humor from a character who didn't know what a pill she was, but it was much better than that one trick character joke. The world of this book is a little more saturated, a little more magical than the real world (maybe that's what being...

I’d had this book on my kindle for ages and when Char mentioned it and said her friend who never says anything is delightful, described it as exactly that,I thought I have to give this a go. The story is set in Seattle and is basically about the disappearance of Bernadette, if you hadn’t already g...

Audiobook-This book had me chuckling at the ridiculousness of the characters or ready to throw my ipod across the room in anger/sadness. It was such a roller-coaster, I wasn't sure how to feel when it ended. It felt unfinished the ending, i needed more wrap up, but I don't know if I could have taken...

I listened to this book as an unabridged audio read by Kathleen Wilhoite. Her narration made the book for me and I highly recommend reading it this way, if you can. Bernadette Day was once an award winning, up and coming architect but an event happened that pretty much destroyed her and now she’s ...

I had seen several comments from various readers/blogs stating that Where'd You Go, Bernadette was laugh-out-loud funny. I was in the mood for a humorous book, and I was hoping it would live up to the hype. Thankfully, I did find this book very entertaining. I can see where the type of humor in th...

For whatever reason, when I talked about this book last time, it had been months after I read it, and I could've done better. I'm not sure that I'll fix that now, but you never know . . . First thing you've got to know about this book is that it's funny. Flat out funny. Some of it may not come acr...
