Summary of Claire Josephine's The Sad Son

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I failed algebra in 1989, which meant I would never be on the cheer or dance teams at my school in Muskogee, Oklahoma. I switched schools and went to Gunslinger High in Gunslinger, Oklahoma. I knew how to throw a great party without ever inconveniencing my parents. #2 I was a little twit, but I was fun as fuck. I loved making out with boys, and I had long blonde hair and a perfect body. I was even awkward as a little girl. I was born and spent my early years in Chicago. I had a best friend named Rachel, who was perfect in every way. #3 I was always seeking Rachel’s approval. I never understood how we were best friends considering my social improprieties. She loved to torment and play pranks on me. She took great pleasure in scaring me. #4 I went from being the popular girl in high school to being the new kid on my first day at Gunslinger High School. I quickly made friends with a guy named Ben, and we became inseparable for the rest of the year. We ate lunch together, hung out after school together, and partied on the weekends together.
