I greatly enjoyed this book. It’s quick and short, read it during a road trip and now am going to buy it to read it again. I loved the characters and their relationship. Greatly recommend, fun ending twist.

This book had me confused and conflicted about what the characters were thinking and why they made the decisions that they did. Particularly Ponyboy.

And I kind of spoiled myself by looking up clips from the film version, which was something I really should have avoided doing. 

But ultimately I felt that the ending saved it.

Sorry this review is a bit weird, I'm typing it from my phone, I might update it at a later date.
