A misanthropic matriarch leaves her eccentric family in crisis when she mysteriously disappears in this "whip-smart and divinely funny" novel that inspired the movie starring Cate Blanchett (New York Times).

Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect; and to 15-year-old Bee, she is her best friend and, simply, Mom.

Then Bernadette vanishes. It all began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle -- and people in general -- has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.

To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, and secret correspondence -- creating a compulsively readable and surprisingly touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.

Witty, enthralling, and devastatingly, fabulously relatable. What a great time. Couldn't put it down.

Poochkies

Awesome book!!!. This book is so different, engaging and unique I couldn't put it down. It is totally different from what I usually read and I am so glad I took a chance and bought it. I highly recommend this great book!

SusieMac46

Where'd You Go, Bernadette. This is definitely worth reading. Funny, entertaining & thought provoking. Thoroughly enjoyable. Loved that it is set in Seattle, my home town.

Lights Out 32

A must read!. I devoured this book over a two day period. The humor and emotion was so real and easy to relate to. Getting absorbed into this story was like a mini vacation in cuckoo land but one that I didn't want to end. You come out in the end loving all of the characters for their flaws and their honesty. So cleverly written, so enjoyable to read, so easily to become obsessed with. I want to "hang" with Bernadette! And I want Bee to be there with us.

A let down. I had high hopes for this book because I had read good reviews and also saw where it was going to be made into a movie. The book flipped back and forth to much to really get interested in the actual story plot, it told past and present in a mix between emails, first person and third person, I like to be sucked into a books story line and i want to feel connected with the characters, this book was impossible for me to do that. I gave three stars because I did like how one of the moms enemies, that was out to get her ended up helping her when she needed it, I thought Audreyโ€™s story was far more interesting than some of the main characters.. I may read another book by this author and see if this is her go to writing style and if it is then I donโ€™t guess her books are for me..

Shats22

!. All I can say it is so true about Seattle and the Gnats! Love this book!

Cbro74

Funny, entertaining, actual. Loved this book!. Found it funny, entertaining, actual, real and interesting. The struggles of a contemporary professional woman and her family to deal with the day to day routine, anxieties and fears...loved the way is written (emails, txt and fax!)

Tutisina

Simply great!!!. Once you start reading you won't stop until finishing! This is one of the best book I had ever read! highly recommended :)

Boozerina

Easy read, cute story. Interesting story, wished for more developments. Easy read, would recommend it.

Lauren D. ๎Œฉ

Loved it!. This book was awesome and i have been searching for something like it ever since. Hoping to enjoy "Today Will Be Different" but the reviews are making me not so sure about it.

Dale18wed

Terrific!. Great read and very well written.

Where'd you go, Bernedette. I don't write many reviews but I do read a lot of books. This was the quirkiest story...ever...and I loved it. It took a while to actually get In to it. About half way through...i couldn't put it down. It made me smile, laugh, shack my head. I had fabulous visions of All the happenings and places. I really enjoyed it.

Littlesuperstar22

I love it. I couldn't stop reading it ... loved everything about it

Luciusm

Such a great book!. I am not a big reader and I loved this book. It is funny, light hearted and I was excited each day to read it! I would certainly recommend this book! Thank you Maria!

Peonies+Magnokia

Loved it!. Charming and laugh out loud funny, I recommend this book to everyone.

Katrina0509

Not my favorite. This book is unique in how it is written. A few parts I liked, when Bee and her dad were in Antarctica, but overall, not so much. I simply could not relate to Bernadette at all. People go thru both personal and professional disappointments and failures all the time, a lot worse than she did, but have to adapt and move on. Would I Recommend it, no.

Sammnsam

Fun fun fun. Extremely well written, engaging and above all, a lot of fun. What a delightful read!

Cheated by Steph

Boring. I love to read, and when I saw this was coming to the theater, I immediately bought it. I tried multiple times to get through this book and would have to go back and reread parts due to uninteresting characters and the way it jumped around. I wouldnโ€™t read for days, so I would have to go back and look to see who they were talking about. I read about 57% and never went back.

The1Pinky

Disappointing. I wanted to love this after reading other reviews and I canโ€™t. It was a disappointing read and chaotic ending. I never even laughed. Not seeing the hype and not sure why itโ€™s been made into a movie.

Frenchy Girl 2016

Disappointed. Was loving this book until the last section and it took a turn to boring and anti climatic.

Yesindidi

creatively, hilarious!!!!. Loved it!!!!!!!

Graceful prancer

Excellent Novel. Fantastic book from start to finish. The beginning, like any other, was slow, yet makes more sense if you reread the first few pages. I canโ€™t wait for the movie!

David W. Carraway

Great Start, Filled Center, Weak Ending. This book started as a well-written, multi-character, work that transitioned into too much stuffing, and finally a dismal end that was fit-in with profanity in an apparent attempt to disguise the lack of quality work in the "hurried feel" ending. If the book had been finished in the manner that it was started it could have been great.

Sister Book Club 1

Where'd You Go, Bernadette. Very funny. I read this in three days grabbing time whenever i could. These characters are so entertaining that you want to meet them. They're also all great examples of how we are all complex, with both highly redeeming and not so attractive attributes. The ending was a bit far fetched but I still liked it.

ValenRP

Interesting. Some parts bored me a little but at some point of the book you just cannot stop reading it. Very unexpected final, almost perfect, but I feel like there are missing some pages at the end. I would love to know what happened after

Ldancem

A fun read. Lighthearted and very entertaining. I enjoyed the mixed media format. The characters were quirky and compelling. A quick read because it was so fun, and I had no idea what to expect next. Definitely recommend!

Yankees5825

Depressing book. Slow moving, and depressing book. I wouldnโ€™t recommend it to anyone. It was a waste of money.

Dyliak

Where'd you go, Bernadette?. Great Book. Loved it. Loved everything about it

Read it!. Highly entertaining, great writing!

Girl54222

Unique amazing read. This books main character is so relatable. Fantastic, funny , sweet book.

Mac-Chick

Ehhh โ€ฆ OK, but not Outstanding. I was enthusiastic by all the great reviews but I found this book to be only so-so and had to force myself to finish it. The dialog was annoying and the book had so many insignificant details that just took up space, not really adding anything to the book. I'm a voracious reader and go through 1-2 books a week and I'm glad I only wasted a Saturday on this one.

Kaykaybean13

Hilarious, witty sarcastic and pessimistic view of a jaded middle aged mom. So many mothers will relate to the impulsive reactions Bernadette has to over involved and elitist parents who are invested in their childโ€™s KINDERGARTEN acceptance. You know whatโ€™s coming down the ramp when this kid is college application ready. Great story of an artistic genius who doesnโ€™t conform to the norms, exhibits quirky, off the cuff behavior but does this quirkiness have more to it?? Couldnโ€™t put it downp

Chorkjxjdjdb

Where'd You go, Bernadette. Great book. Slow start. Takes 120 pages to get interesting.

Maui Dude

Odd Ducks. A compelling story of eccentric, but likable people. Itโ€™s a brisk read and very thoughtfully written. I recommend it highly.

Peachiemommie

Iffy. I'm still not 100% sure if I liked it or not..... I got bored in a few places and just wanted it to be over 100 pages out. Upon completion I'm just not sure. I did enjoy the presentation for sure. Different.

Docbarri

Wild ride. A hoot! Enjoyed the entire book. Most humorous writing I've read in years.

Koala984

Excellent read. This book is funny, entertaining and hard to put down. Such an interesting look into a families life and so lighthearted. Great summer beach read and for anyone planning a trip to Antartica soon!

Grant78

Boring. I couldnโ€™t finish the book. I keep hoping that the book would pick up but there was just nothing that kept me interested.

Fblyth

Where'd you go Bernadette. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish!

Temamer

A Hell'uva Good Time. What a great story! Fully developed quirky characters that screamed "like me". I read it in 3 days because I just had to know what was coming next. Haven't had so much fun reading in a long time!

Dedebookie

Beach book. Great for the beach! Entertaining and creative.

Kstark0813

What did I just read???. Eh... Funny, but not good. I usually love all books, but this one was hard to like. Characters were boring and story was way too hard to follow. Don't bother.

Happy bird 2322

Wow. I want more!!!! I wish this book was 400 pages longer!

Uprise24

Oh, what fun. ...it was to read this delightful book. I resented every thing that took me away from it. It was so different from anything else I've read - and that's hundreds of books. At first, I thought it was a Jody Picoult type of read, but was soon disabused of that notion. This is money well spent for entertainment.

BPF72

A fun read. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a funny and quirky story with interesting characters who were easy to relate to. I thought it got a little slow toward the end, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Overall, I loved it and would definitely recommend!

Accorsi2x2

A Gem!. Smart, witty, educational, an all-around good read!

Eileen Walsh

Did I miss something?. Great story, rushed ending.

Catinmv

Where did you go Bernadette. Loved this book. So well written and stayed true to the end.

Daogier

Loved it!. I don't think it was slow to start at all. An engaging, but light, read. Great beach or vacation book. But trust me, DON'T start it an hour before bedtime because you WILL stay up. All night...

Book lover 443i

Love. Hilarious and memorable. Couldn't put it down.

Amy Arriza

Hilarious. This book was so Humorous and gripping I couldn't stop reading.

Ritesh Kini

Loved it. Well written drama based in Seattle. Would recommend it to all friends looking for a light read. Seattleites should definitely read it

Nerissa99

Overrated. Starts off well but falls off the mark and just goes downhill. Very disappointing read.

Darviny

Where'd you go burnadette. Really great read, funny, profound, honest, great characters And different. It lets you look at how different people are and how one can see the same experience totally differently. Highly recommended

Piggle2303

What fun!. I had a blast reading this book! The changes in the characters over the course of the story arc were downright phenomenal. Antarctica as a setting is a fabulous choice. The letters between the characters made the story move very quickly.

Dfggthtjthdg

The ending. Ugh, the ending. Great read and flow 3/4 in but then dragged solution and abrupt ending.

Kholt1807

Fun summer reading. Quick and easy

Need a book

Great! Great! Great!. I love this book. Read it in a day (traveling, working, etc) but couldn't put it down. As difficult as some of the characters were, they were all perfect for the story. You won't be disappointed

Trucksmama

Loved it. I read this book in less than 24 hours. Couldn't put it down. Great quirky characters and a quick pace. Fun whodunit.

NXPNW

Great Read.. Witty, brash AND tender. Like being on a good date.

Kathykx3

Awesome, Original, and Captivating. This is just an absolutely terrific book. The characters are unique and, as quirky as they are, they are also believable. The book is, at times, laugh-out-loud funny. I have told all my friends to read this. You should too - you won't be sorry.

303gal

Good, clever quick read. Lots of inside jokes about Seattle. Tragic Mother character and her blindingly loyal spouse and daughter can be hard to believe, but the author's quick wit and breezy style allows you to forgive.

None743

Read it!. The best book I've read all summer!

Sam schwindt

Awesome!. I absolutely loved this book, it made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me to keep on flipping the pages! Creative writing style, and now i want to visit Antarctica

Perky too

where'd you go, bernadette?. Great read! Fun, fast paced, even informative. Story is told by multiple quirky characters....very different technique. I can see a major film company buying the rights to this story as it has all the main features of a good film...lots of visual humor and great characters. Loved it!

Heathlybody

Where is Bernadette. What a wonderful story. Absolutely perfect.i loved the blackberries . I loved the description of the ice. For some reason it made me think of the Grand Canyon and Haleakala Crater and really seeing the stars for the first time. Really seeing and feeling the universe and the mini second of my existence in the scheme of things. I love d a happy ending and the quirkiness of it all.

Deealegre

Where did you go Bernadette.. A phenomenally funny and truly interesting book! I couldn't put it down. Brilliantly written by a genius, whom the reader can actually relate to! I learned so much about Seattle, MS and the Artic along the way! Such a good read! Made my 12 hour day of flying a breeze! Thank you!

B'sGramma

Where'd You Go Bernadette?. Loved this book. Couldn't keep my nose out of it and will certainly re-read it. It was light, funny and quirky, but also very nicely touching. Enjoy!

Givemikemilk

Hooked Up. Once you start reading it, you'll get hooked up. All the characters in the story have their own good quality and flaws. It's quite fast-paced and in the third act, it seems like an escapist thriller. As a son myself, I love reading something about mothers and this is something new to me. It's really entertaining and I highly recommend it.

The couve.

Where'd you go Bernadette. I loved this book! Bee was way more intelligent than any 8th grader that I know but, having two very intelligent parents it's realistic and understandable. And who knew that Audrey could step outside her box of superiority and see herself for who she really was. I never did end up liking Soo-Lin, once the victim always the victim. I loved the ending, I could almost guess it but was still unsure of how it would end. Very entertaining read that kept me flipping the pages. It left me wanting more.

JennerB

Fell in love with Bernadette & Bee. Wonderful characters that I kept wanting to come back to. Truly sad when it ended. Highly recommend!

You won't post my review

Where'd you go, Bernadette. I don't get it? I read two books a week and have absolutely no interest at all in this book.

Thirsty for books

I LOVED this book!!. This was my very favorite read of the summer. It was laugh out loud funny . So smart and i also found myself weeping. I have been recommending this book to everyone . I truly loved loved loved it. I can't wait to visit Seattle and I am now thinking of planning a trip to Antarctica. I identified so much with Bernadette and reading this book as inspired me to go back to doing my art . I have given myself permission. to creat. Thanks Bernadette !!!

Photo frenzy 1

Recommend! Good and easy read!. I really liked this book. It held my interest the whole way through. I enjoyed that the book always turned in directions that I didn't expect. The only thing I would have preferred is more story at the end.
