A lot of people say that this is their favorite S.E. Hinton book. I mean, I enjoyed reading it I suppose, but ya know, I still like The Outsiders more. The Outsiders really struck me emotionally, and this one didn't quite as much. I still liked it, it just won't be on my favorites shelf, personally. Still can't wait to read her other stuff, though :D

That was incredible. I... it was amazing, what else is there to say? The characters felt very real, the way it was written (not prose nor poetry; Somewhere in between. In verse, I believe.) was so beautifully done. I was super impressed with the writing. The love Timothy has for Levi is just very wholesome, along with Levi's love for Tim ("Buh buh buh buh, 'more dog'" like fjdishbdiehdhd). I had this on my shelf for a while, and picked it up 'cause I wanted something short to read. I'm so, so glad I did 'cause this is easily one of my favorite books now.
I love this book. So much. I am dyin' right here to read the sequel

Just like House Arrest, this was beautifully written. Levi and Timothy connecting through writing to each other was amazing, and honestly that's one of my favorite aspects of this story.
