★★★★
"Maybe that's what religion is, hurling yourself off a cliff and trusting that something bigger will take care of you and carry you to the right place."
I liked this quirky and funny and highly original novel - it was just so much fun to read! Bernadette was such an interesting character, but ultimately it was her 15-year-old daughter Bee that won me over. When Bee's mother disappears shortly before that family's scheduled trip to Antarctica, Bee is determined to find her. The book consists of numerous documents including emails, letters, and secret corespondents leading to the story's dynamic ending. The last half felt a little flat for me at times, but the novel had a lot of really great moments and I loved that it highlighted a charming mother-daughter relationship.
