Where'd You Go, Bernadette

I admit I didn't feel ‘hooked' upon reading this book initially...  the pace felt slow, the characters slightly relatable yet quite foreign to understand and the unfamiliar way of presentation with shifting point of views; it wasn't easy. However, that seemed to change when I got a few pages in and I‘d gotten myself into this whirlwind of emotions. Characters were pretty realistically written, each having their positive and negatives drawn out. The storytelling has a very convincing style where I found myself changing perspectives and views about everything that went on. What I most liked about this book is how it managed to cover quite a few themes that are of essence in the world today. Loss of passion, mental health, out of character behaviour, maternal bond and this emotional detachment that can't really be explained. Miscommunications, misunderstandings, and a true sense of yin and yang that exists within every human. Sure, it's a work of fiction at the end with quite a few unbelievable twists and turns. But for those who like to delve in deep, there's more to this book than plain wittiness. Despicable characters also have their moments of redemption.
