I enjoyed this take on the infamous Bonnie Parker. There were times, however, where it felt a little monotonous and circular to me? And perhaps that's the point. That's how Bonnie felt her life with the Barrow gang was feeling, and the book gave off similar vibes.

This book was amazing. I love Bonnie and Clyde and this book gave and amazing view of what life was like for them. It was very interseting to learn about Bonnies younger life and how life was for her when she was a kid.

I loved the idea of this book, but the execution mostly made me impatient with Bonnie; I wanted to reach into the book and shake her as she stubbornly marched toward her own ruin. (You can tell I am middle-aged because there was a time when I would have identified with Bonnie, but when I read this novel I could only imagine myself as her poor mother.)
