Esther Schnaidman asked this question about Where'd You Go, Bernadette:

I loved this book until the last page. Maybe I am missing something, but I found the whole story line ended too abruptly. We have the main character coming to realization and clarity about her life. She's finally made decisions and is going forward. However, Bernadette doesn't seem to know about the pregnancy or that Elgie quit Microsoft. Huh? How is that an ending? I am so disappointed. THANKS

Zuzana Ozanova Yes, the ending seemed abrupt, but how the story would continue seemed pretty clear to me.

Bernadette seemed confident in her relationship with her husband and he seemed to be clear on the affair not meaning anything by the time he sat down on those rocks with Bee. I assumed, he would take good care of his admin, but that is it. Even the mistress made it clear it was not a love-filled relationship in her letter to her support group and that she would simply just get the house out of it and “the Beatles” would reunite. Bernadette would not be thrilled, but she was in no way traditional in such that she would leave her husband for his affair or make a big deal ouf of it. (less)
