   Summary

   Ponyboy Curtis thought he had his life figured out: the gang, the rules, the way things were always gonna be. But when Curly Shepard shows back up Pony starts drifting further from the only world he’s ever known, and he realizes maybe there’s more out there for him, more to himself too. New friends, new choices, and maybe even something more with the last person he ever expected. Kind of a coming-of-age story about learning you can have two places to call home: the family you’ll always belong to, and the one you choose for yourself.

   Or: new friends, new trouble, and growing pains you can’t fight your way out of.
