:･ﾟ This book was inspired by 'The Outsiders' and offers a very specific atmosphere based on the author's life when it was written. Because of that, it is an authentic take with personal struggles included. [Read at your own risk, as it includes a number of touchy subjects such as violence, alcohol and cigarettes. This story does not intend to romanticize any use of the mentioned.] :･ﾟ
