Upon re-reading this book as an adult, I’ve come to appreciate how strongly the teenage experience shines through.

Help I'm still at the restaurant. Read this for the first time in 8th grade English and my mind was blown. Wanted a comfort read so I revisited it and it still holds up 7 years later. Loved it then love it now ahhhh everyone should read this book

This will always be one of my favorite books. I read this in middle school and completely fell in love with the characters and their stories. It's also a very quick read and the movie is amazing too! I will definitely be reading this again and again and again. Well done, S.E. Hinton.
