Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Oh my GOSH I loved this book SO MUCH. For me it's a 10 hour roundtrip drive to my parents' house, so whenever I go home I try to do an audiobook. But it's such a flat, boring drive that I need something really good to hold my attention or else I get bored and switch to music. This was GREAT, the kind of audiobook that had me anxiously putting the next disc in as soon as I could. Really funny narration–I especially loved her voice for Bee, the teenage narrator.

When I saw that Maria Semple had written for Arrested Development I thought, that makes total sense. This reminded me of Arrested Development in the best way–larger than life characters who are also very human, insane plot twists that some how all come back together at the end. And it's SO funny and well-observed.
