Today Will Be Different is Maria Semple’s new novel. Where’d You Go Bernadette was so brilliant, clever and funny I was anxiously awaiting her next book and it doesn’t disappoint. She is one of my favorite authors of the moment; with such original ideas, her writing is full of intelligence, wit, humor and heart.

The story follows one day in the life of middle aged Seattle animator Eleanor Flood. I wasn’t thrilled with the ending, but the mini graphic novel in the middle of the book makes up for it. A great read.
