Not only could it have been gayer... it SHOULD HAVE been gayer.

It really does feel like it was written by a teenager in the best way. If you're not a teenager you know what I mean. It also makes me understand the whole "He was written by a woman" trend that was happening a few months back. Men don't give this level of attention to detail to other men, unless they are fruity.

Ponyboy is fruity. It's literally canon, I don't care what the author says. He says himself "I don't care too much for girls yet." Uh yeah, and you never fuckin will! He had to walk a mile away from Johnnycake to stop blushing when he called him pretty. And, lastly, his name is Ponyboy. I rest my case!

I sympathize less with them because they're white. If they weren't white? 5 stars. If they weren't white and were gay? This would be the greatest book to ever hit the shelves. However, despite them being not gay and not people of color... the book is still iconic.

I'm itching to look at the fics for this on AO3.

5.0

When we had to read this in 7th grade I was so full of angst and wanting to be different that I decided I hated it before I even finished the first chapter. I hate being told what to do so I angrily trudged through this book to get the assignments done and always told everyone I hated it, especially when people said how much they loved it. 

I decided to give it another chance, having matured slightly, and I am so glad I did. This is such an important story and I feel guilty for ever hating it. I can't believe it took me 12 years to realize it.

I gotta say that this book brought me back into my book reading phase. I've came across some snippets of the movie every once in a while and decided to finally go ahead and read it. My expectations where very high, once because I really wanted to start reading again and knew if this book disappointed I wouldn't start again and because the snippets already gave me a rough idea that I was interested in. To say at least, the book and story definitely didn't disappoint and it will always be in my top three of my favorite books, because despite everything it made a very big impact on me and I also read it during my first holiday alone and the book will always be connected to the incredible memorys I made.
