Book Club: Things I Can't Explain Chapters 19 & 20

Welcome to the Things I Can't Explain Book Club, this post I'm looking at chapters 19 & 20.  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 19:  Genelle and Clarissa meet up, essentially Genelle wants rub it in Clarissa's face how good she is doing.  She had a boob job, laser eye surgery, had her nose done, and has a self help book coming out.  She is also getting married and wants to invite Clarissa and her boyfriend Nick, who she learned about from Clarissa's mom.  She does all this by thanking Clarissa for the inspiration back in high school to do better, she is not sincere about this.  Feeling backed in a corner she accepts the invitation even though her and Nick aren't on speaking terms.

Chapter 20: Clarissa meets up with her friends for a girls night out at the club.  She catches them up on Nick, Genelle, and her new job. Jody, with her annoying abbreviation speech pattern, heard from her mom that was told by Clarissa's mom that after they met Nick they saw him at the airport kissing another girl.  Another one of Clarissa's friends is familiar with Nick and HeadSpace as she has played drums for him on some tracks.  They are also familiar with Roxie, Nick's on again off again girlfriend.  They encourage Clarissa to tell Nick about the wedding and to ask him to go.

Thoughts:  Great couple of chapters that really help answer some questions and advance the story.  There are about 100 pages left in the book I'm still hoping we get a current day Sam sighting and they end up together.  I guess I'll find out. 

Until Next Time!
