Welcome to the Things I Can't Explain Book Club, this post I'm looking at chapters 23 & 24. You can read my buddy Brandon's thoughts on the chapters here. You and read about the other chapters by looking at this blogs past posts.
Chapter 23: I've never read so many words written about an extremely short one sided conversation before. Clarissa is at the office of Nuzegeek working on her article when Dartmoor comes up and let's her know that he is the best man at Genelle's wedding and that he is aware that Clarissa is going to the wedding. He is also very fond of Genelle and thinks that's she's a great person. Clarissa spends a tremendous amount of time diagramming and breaking down everything that Darty is saying to her before she responds. So many words for very little story advancement.
Chapter 24: To me this is a big chapter because we get the continued story of Sam and Clarissa's relationship after they had sex. They continued to spend weekends together until the following summer when Sam got an internship in Italy working at restoring a lost city that is in the Mediterranean Sea. They spend the Summer together in Italy and she is in love. When the school year starts again she returns to New York and he goes off to several more sunken cities and they simply fall apart. Clarissa also spends time finding the perfect dress for the wedding at a high end thrift store.
Thoughts: Chapter 24 is really the only chapter I want talk about. I'm quite shocked at how Sam and Clarissa ended their relationship, there was no big fight or argument that ended it. She was in New York and Sam was traveling around for work and, according to Clarissa, he just stopped contacting her and that was the end of it. It's really kind of sad that, that is how it ended. Sam will absolutely show up in this book before it's over!
Until Next Time!
