Hysterically funny satire, smart and quick. A spoof on modern life, parenting, schools, Microsoft, the Pacific Northwest, and office politics. Although the story is told around the premise of a teenage girl whose mother goes missing, this will probably appeal most to moms and women dealing with the pressures and stresses of modern upper middle class life. A great quick read, perfect for book club discussion!
Sooo 3.5? I’m with everyone on the last 1/4 of the book. I really enjoyed the story from so many angles, but not as much after the shift to Bernadette. The characters were quirky and well developed at first but really plummeted at the end. It’s almost as if this was constructed by 2 different authors
I kept putting this book down and coming back to it, but that might be because it mostly lived in my work bag. It definitely jumped around a lot and was sometimes hard to follow who was speaking, but once I got into a rhythm I enjoyed it.
