The writing style was great. I immediately got hooked up since the beginning. The story was very interesting. The plot, the scenery, the characters, etc are all very interesting.

Omg reading classic is such a fun reading. Especially books that set in real world. Because this book reminds me sm of the movie, Grease. The hair oil applying, always looking good, rowdy. Not only that but applying the hair oil makes me think that guys back in the days care sm of how they looked. And the fashion back then probably always applying hair oil. Omg this is why I need to read more classic.

It took forever for me to get into the story, I wasn’t really invested in it until probably there were probably 30 pages left. The ending made sense, was good,

sad, reflective, and did a good job of giving a realistic portrayal of grief.

would I read again? Probably not, but the voice felt like a 14 year old intelligent boy and I appreciated that.
