Does it make me crazy that I understood Bernadette? I might not be like her, but I understood her and loved her character. This was an enjoyable book and I was never bored. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good story from beginning to end!

What a tease ending. And yet not. I didn't hate this at all; it was fascinating and enjoyable in a grown-up horrible Wayside School is Falling Down sort of way.

all the antics/adventures were great.
the style reminds me of a new-yorkian blog and some of the seattle idiosyncrasies where spot on... some not so much.
but the humor. the humor was well written and sort of slapstick and funny.
