"man blir tokig om man inte har någon att vara med. Det gör detsamma vem det är, bara man får vara med honom. Jag ska tala om för dig, skrek han, att man blir sjuk om man är för mycket ensam.

i just generally didn’t like the book. i was forced to read it for school and thought it has the most mind-boring plot ever.

Read it for school as I'm sure most people did. It's alright; way shorter than I thought it would be. The writing is good, but it also comes across as a little bit whiney and pessimistic, and it ends up sounding like every other book written and set in that era of time. It's extremely hard to like any of the characters, which might be the point but it made it kind of a slog to read even though it's so short.

I’m not gonna lie, this book was traumatizing, literally the only female character is called a harlot for having red fingernails, and don’t even get me started on Curly’s glove of Vaseline smh. But other than that, it’s an amazing book that has important themes about friendship and innocence.
