This book… it made me feel so much. So many tears. Ponyboy, Sodapop, Darry, Two Bit, Johnny, Dally… these aren’t characters I’ll forget quickly. Neither is the message. I cried a lot. But I also smiled because chocolate cake and stars and sunsets. “There’s still a lot of good in the world.”
It’s sad, it’s real, it’s beautiful. I think I’ll still be thinking about it long after I’ve finished it. Johnny was gold and my favorite next to Ponyboy. They dig sunsets. That’s gold. It’s a good way to be. ❤️
Quotes that made me feel a lot
“I’ve been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you’re gold when you’re a kid, like green. When you’re a kid everything’s new, dawn. It’s just when you get used to everything that it’s day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That’s gold. Keep that way, it’s a good way to be.”
“I want you to tell Dally to look at one. He’ll probably think you’re crazy, but ask for me. I don’t think he’s ever really seen a sunset.”
“There’s still lots of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don’t think he knows. Your buddy, Johnny.”
