pickTook me a bit to get into but this turned into a great book. Felt like the inner circle from Grease meets The Outsiders × Dirty Dancing meets Romeo & Juliet??? Yeah, think that about covers it.

pickAn Outsiders retelling written by the author of Moxie? Yes please. Picking this up, I thought it would be a vague retell influence, just set in the same class battle. But no it was especially a carbon copy, just gender-flipped and dealing with other issues from the 60‘s like sexism and racism. Did I spend the entire book guessing who the Johnny and the Daley were so I could prepare myself? Yes, yes I did. But dang, this was a great book. 5⭐️
Picked this YA thriller up from the library today asking with several audiobooks! I like to mix it up with some YA picks every now and then.
pickThe Outsiders was such a formative book for me as a young reader, and when I heard about this reimagining, I was absolutely wild to get my hands on it. While nothing can capture the pure magic of the original, this homage offers some great twists and turns, and a moving look at a group of 60s Bad Girls. The relationships between the girls feel very real, and the societal expectations and judgements they navigate unfortunately feel fairly current.
