Where'd you go Bernadette

Author: Maria Sempel


I never quite understood what the genre chick-lit was about until I read this book. It is entertaining, educational, bitchy, humorous, endearing, romantic and a page-turner to boot. Maria Sempel tells the story of Bernadette Fox and her mis-adventures using all kinds of different forms of narration, including emails with her offshore assistant, correspondence with a psychiatrist, FBI documents, letters and many more. What is amazing is how well she stitches all these different formats together while keeping you glued to the storyline and providing laugh-out-loud entertainment along the way.
