Wait... WHERE is Bernadette?


Oh Bernadette! You're awesome, but misunderstood. And funny. Yeah, you're funny.

For a novel that's written almost exclusively through written communications between characters (i.e. fax, letters, invoices, emails, texts, articles,) I got a concrete sense of the personalities of every character in the novel. The confrontation (via transcripts) of Bernadette's "intervention" was one of the highlights of this novel for me.

Things I didn't like so much: The finale, (in fact I think I've forgotten how it ended,) and Bee's sudden personality change once she went off to boarding school. Everything else made the novel worth the long wait list at the library: 4/5 Stars.
