LOVE. <br /><br />Several twitterature players are reading Where'd You Go, Bernadette this month. I wish I'd known when I was reading it that the author was a writer for Arrested Development! I thought it was an okay read but wasn't completely in love with it, but I would have enjoyed looking for hints of the Bluths in its pages.
