I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was not prepared for the ending (I was reading it on iBooks and foolishly thought that when it said I had 15 more pages that I actually had 15 more pages). Semple has done a wonderful job creating quirky characters that I either loved right off the bat (Bee and Bernadette) or grew to love (Elgie). I felt as angry as Bee was at Elgie with his infidelity, his leaps to conclusions, and his complete inability to listen to or understand his wife. I cheered when Bee found her mom, happy that she wasn't at the bottom of the sea. I liked Bernadette's letter, explaining all that had happened but I wanted to see her come home, I wanted to see how Elgie and Bernadette worked out their issues, how the “gnat” and baby fit into their lives and see the growth in all of them.
