Review: Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Where'd You Go, Bernadette Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was ok. It was recommended on a moms' email group that I read as a fun, light read. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of it - Bernadette is an iconoclast mom whose only daughter goes to a high-end preppy school, and she stirs up all kinds of trouble. It was fun to read about her kapers, and also read the other characters' reactions to them, often in letters or memos. The book went a bit off the rails at the end, though, almost as if the author didn't know what to do after the main plot lines went in a certain direction. A fun read, but not too satisfying of one.
