Top 5 example

#4: Where’d You Go, Bernadette? by Julia Semple 

What it’s about: The story of how reclusive, genius architect Bernadette Fox goes missing and her daughter tries to find her. 

Why I liked it: It’s told through a series of documents (emails by and about Bernadette, doctor’s notes, court records, etc.) that Bee has found, so we re-assemble what happened along with Bee. 

RIYL: fast, funny, non-traditional structures, satire
