Where’d You Go, Bernadette, by Maria SempleRead about the other books on the list.
To answer the titular question this lively, hilarious novel poses, you’ll have to piece together a string of student report cards, business invoices, press releases, essays, magazine articles, emails, blog posts, newsletters, and even a TED talk. Despite the narrative trickery, it’s one of the most heartwarming, laugh-out-loud funny books about mothers and daughters and the impossibility of parenting that you’ll ever read.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette is among Chrissie Gruebel's five top books for readers inspired by Nora Ephron.
