Bernadette is a frightfully intelligent wife and mother whose intense allergy to Seattle specifically, and to people in general, has driven her to hire a virtual assistant in India to execute even her most basic tasks. Then her daughter, Bee, insists on a family trip to Antarctica as her reward for getting perfect grades in middle school, and Bernadette is faced with the daunting prospect of actual human interaction.

like submitted by nicenora2371 on July 12, 2013, 4:09pm like the cover but not love the cover

Ending was too neat submitted by evelyn on June 23, 2014, 3:49pm This book wrapped up a little too neatly, but I did enjoy the characters and the way that the story developed throughout the book, with multiple voices.

ok submitted by airgood on June 18, 2015, 6:25pm I enjoyed the story and the way it pokes fun at wealthy culture. It wasn't the best book ever, but the audiobook makes for light listening. The voices took some getting used to. The plot is a bit anti-climactic.

Very entertaining audiobook submitted by edb.blanchard on July 14, 2019, 8:31pm Listened to this on a long car ride (but am nervous that the movie won't do it justice)

Great audio book submitted by Aimless on July 19, 2019, 9:20pm Easy to listen to and follow

Fun and quirky submitted by 21621031390949 on June 15, 2020, 11:03am Another amusing, light-hearted, and quirky book by Maria Semple. I listened to the recorded version which is read well by the same person who read Semple's book "Today Will Be Different."
