Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

2017 Reading Challenge - Read a book that is set more than 5,000 miles from your location

What a gem of a book!  A quick read in a unique format of emails, blog posts, announcements, etc. with interjections by the narrator, Bee.  Funny quips, heartfelt sentiments, descriptive writing and dysfunction - lots of dysfunction.  Characters to fall in love with, to hate, to find redemption and to miss when you close the book.  A book to remind you that it's not okay to lose YOU in the midst of the complications of life - that knowing you and being true to you is the only way life makes sense.

Quote: "My heart started racing, not the bad kind of heart racing, like I'm going to die.  But the good kind of heart racing, like, Hello, can I help you with something?  If not, please step aside because I'm about to kick the shit out of life"
