I really had higher hopes for this book, I love The Outsiders and seeing as this was a retelling of that book with feminism woven through it, I was all for it.
The characters weren't very easily loveable. The book was really slow at the beginning and then it would go faster and then slower, it just had some major pacing issues for me. Some parts of the plot were very predictable and just had no climax really. The book was really okay just had the issues listed above. Oh, also Diane deserved better than she got but what happened to her in the end didn't bother me any.
I did see a lot of The Outsiders in this book and kind of thought that it was unoriginal. Don't get me wrong it was a nice little read it just wasn't amazing and it did not strike a cord buried very deeply in my soul.
Also, a thing that stuck out about this book was the cover. The girl with the vintage cat eye glasses, she just looks so cool.

This book definitely has “The Outsiders” vibes but is it’s own story. I liked the characters and highly recommend it.
I just didnt really care to read to the end, I skimmed it and decided I didnt want to spend the time finishing it.
Not my favorite. This isn’t the Outsiders. Also felt a little heavy handed and cheesy.

This is a story about Evie and her friends that are "tuff" and are considered by most in her town to be bad girls. An event happens at a drive in and the story unfolds from there on how this group of girls deals with it.
This one didn't quite work for me. I feel like part of the themes/stories were incomplete. It touched on some social issues but left it at that. Just a touch. So I was left confused why they were even mentioned.
