Becoming Bonnie by Jenni Walsh
This is a fictional work about Bonnie Parker, the Bonnie of Bonnie and Clyde. It picks up when she is about fifteen years old, still in high school, and still in love with a boy she's grown up with. This chronicles her life in how she became involved in illicit and illegal activities, which, in this case, was working at a speakeasy.
While working at the speakeasy, she volunteers herself to go on a bootlegging run with Clyde's brother, Buck. This is when she meets Clyde for the first time, but she is not that interested in him because she is engaged to Roy. Roy is everything she wants until he starts drinking and gambling. He ends up losing all their money and cheating on her.
Since I don't know too much about Bonnie's actual history, I can't say whether this book is out of the realm of possibility or not, but I did like it. Highly recommend this one.
