Book two-sixty-six: Bobby Fays Very, (Very, Very, Very) Bad Day

Bobbie Fays Very, (Very, Very, Very) Bad Day (2007)
Toni McGee Causey

I can’t say I enjoyed reading about Bobbie Fays’s day any more than you’d imagine she enjoyed living through it. I didn’t like old Bobbie all that much. She was frustrating. And everyone around her loved her, even those who hated her. It was all a bit too Betsy for me.

Cajun beauty queen Bobbie Faye Sumrall is having a bad day: after a burst water pipe breaks her sorry-excuse-for-a-trailer in half, she accidentally robs a bank, tries to free her good-for-nothing brother from kidnappers, takes a hostage (also accidentally), flees with him through the treacherous swamps of Louisiana, eludes an angry bear as well as her disgruntled cop ex-boyfriend, hotwires a speedboat, and kills a dangerous snake with her knife. And the day isn’t even over.
