This book was weird. I’m not sure if I liked it or was every really completely engrossed in it.
Bee: Main character and daughter
Bernadette: Mother, infamous architect, now crazy
Elgin: Father, rich CEO of tech company
Spoilers ensue! Bernadette moved her entire family to
Seattle after some sort of fall out in the architecture world. She bought an
old leaky gigantic home which she intends to renovate but never does so they
mostly live in squalor. Bernadette asks for everything from Manjula, her Indian
virtual assistant who we later find to be a gigantic scam artist. Bee goes to a
private school where she doesn’t quite fit in and neither does her mother which
later leads to a large problem involving blackberries that leads Bernadette to
go missing. Turns out Bernadette was in Antarctica.
This book was very funny and had a very scattered
organization. Some parts were from Bee’s view or Bernadette’s or an email from
Bernadette to Manjula or an FBI agent. It was easy to read but at some points
lead to me not connecting with the story. It took me too long to get invested
in the book and by that time it was almost over.
