Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Lol. Wouldn't it just be great to run away from all your problems repeatedly and then just have everyone end up being like “well that's just Kaeli being Kaeli”. I found this book incredibly good at points (being the aspiring architect I am) when the author is talking about Bernadette and her career. It was also very quirky, which at times was entertaining, but at other times really has me lost as a reader. The narrator for the audiobook was ANNOYING AF. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT listen to this. All in all this was probably a 2.75/5 on the first read through. I am excited to read this again in bookclub because physically reading it may be a much better experience for me. However, I still believe this: too many loose ends untied or unexplained, missing puzzle pieces, unrealistic reactions of teenagers and husbands. Nothing about this book seemed typical, and it was beyond the realm of explanation. To clarify, all of the characters were developed and you as the reader understood mostly what each character stood for. But, the characters were not explained so fully in their quirkiness that you could actually see them having the reactions to the bizarre situations the author threw them into in the book. I really just don't think this was a well thought out play, personally. It didn't make it awful, it just was incomprehensible at times. This book was just one incredible convoluted, mal-grammared run-on sentence.
