It’s finally time for our first CupcakeMAG Book Club talk! I hope you all loved this book as much as I did! For those of you who didn’t get to read along, let me share a quick blurb with you about the book.
“Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she’s a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she’s a disgrace; to design mavens, she’s a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette’s intensifying allergy to Seattle—and people in general—has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic. To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence—creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter’s role in an absurd world”
Here are a few pics from our lovely readers.
Personally, I loved it! I thought it had the perfect amount of wit, charm, and quirkiness. It wasn’t your typical “feel good” story which made me like it that much more. I want to know what you guys think! Use #CMBookClub or comment below!

I read this book a few months ago and I really enjoyed it. I found myself laughing out loud throughout most of the book. I thought that the characters were so unique and the story-telling style was also rather unique in that it was supposed to be a paper like format written by the daughter to her school.
Just finished this & thought it was a real gem. I loved the characters in this book – Bee & Bernadette are truly a match. It was a great read, and keeps you on your toes!
