Side by Side by Jenni L. Walsh
4.0
Side by Side is a fictional story, based on real life events on the lives of Bonnie and Clyde. Told from the perspective of Bonnie, Side by Side takes place in the early 1930s. Bonnie is waiting for Clyde to return from prison so they can live the American Dream. When Clyde returns, they end up spending their lives a bit differently than they had planned. Clyde promises Bonnie that someday, they will have a farm with a lot of land for just the two of then. To get there, they just need some money, and what better way to get that money than to steal it?
I loved hearing about the adventures of Bonnie and Clyde from the perspective of Bonnie. Bonnie’s character was conflicted between knowing what they were doing was wrong, but trusting the love of her life to give her the life they had dreamed about. Bonnie wouldn’t even think of leaving Clyde, no matter how many times they almost got caught. I highly recommend this book for fans of historical fiction! You do not need to read book one first, they can be read as standalones!
