So Roberta returns to her family home for Christmas, where a loving family is very happy to see her. Roberta isvery close t to her mother and "longs to tell her everything" about Clyde and the situation she currently finds herself in. But she can't. Shame and fear have overcome roberta. All because she's been sleeping with clyde. Now he's interested in sondra and given roberta the cold shoulder.

It just occurred to me that it would be more interesting if Roberta killed Sondra out of jealousy and possessiveness toward Clyde.

Clyde's dreams are about to come true. And thus begins the nightmare.

Clyde and Roberta just met. At 272 pages, I’ve read an entire book now. Just another 600 pages to go 🤦🏽‍♀️

Wherein Clyde gets paraded around a church social because of his last name and finds himself in a lip lock with one of the local girls, something he would be better off avoiding. But what’s a lonely boy to do?

Wherein our boy Clyde eludes capture, escapes to another city, and goes to work for his rich uncle. Things are not what Clyde expected (such poor dressers and so dumb) but he sticks it out, giving it his best effort.
