Book Club: Things I Can't Explain Chapters 5 & 6

You can check out my write ups on Chapters 1 & 2 and Chapters 3 & 4 in this post I'm talking about Chapters 5 & 6.

Chapter 5
Clarissa and Nick take a taxi back to the old Daily Post building where Nick's motorcycle was left.  The don't get a chance to chat it the taxi because the cabbie was a chatterbox.  Back at the building Nick offers to give her a ride home on his bike, but he takes her to an overlook of the Brooklyn Bridge and right before they were going to kiss, Nick tells her that he has a girlfriend.  Clarissa is hurt but accepts his ride home.

Thoughts
Decent chapter where the first half is Clarissa's narrative on her feelings for Nick, how everything is moving fast and the second half on how devastated she is but trying to rationalize that everything that happened tonight was too good to be true.  We also have Nick, essentially, saying how long he has pined over Clarissa, how he too never had the nerve to talk to her beyond their brief coffee chat.  He states that he wants to kiss, essentially he's wanted too for a long time, but he can't because of his girlfriend, a girlfriend that he doesn't seem very happy to be with.

Chapter 6
This is a brief chapter about Clarissa in her apartment the morning after her crazy evening and night with Nick and her parents.  He get a brief look at her financials, meet her black cat Elvis that she almost named Sabrina or Salem (know what I mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more), her financial situation and how she still is pining over Nick.  The chapter ends with Sabrina getting an email about a potential future job opportunity.

Thoughts
Not a whole lot to say outside the description.  The chapter is brief and straight forward.  We get another "Clarissa" moment as she tells us her obsession with lists and making lists about lists.

I'm very much so enjoying this book and the story over all.  I'm going to tweet Melissa Joan Hart and see if she has an opinion.

Until Next Time!
