really incredible read I read a while back, maybe 2-3 years ago now. It's a very sad book but also about friendship, growing up and drifting apart. Set near the same time as the Outsiders, I think a bit after the book's events! It features Ponyboy for a bit! :)

It was great reading about Ponyboy again :)

I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT HE PLAYS A MINOR ROLE IN THE BOOK

I love this book. I’ve now read it twice and it’s broken my heart both times. 
This book is about friends Mark and Bryon. They’re like brothers, until they’re not. It’s a story of their relationship through thick and thin. 
It’s emotion, yet funny, it’s cheesy but it’s so REAL. The end always always gets me. 
If you liked the outsider you’ll love this one!! Ponyboy even makes an appearance!
