I’m going to be honest with you, I’m not entirely sure why I reread this. I remember sort of liking it in middle school. That’s as far as it went. Considering that was my reaction when I was still the target audience, can you imagine now? It’s certainly a cute story. Sodapop, as I recalled, is the most likable and sympathetic character. Otherwise, I forgot it almost as soon as I put it down. Something just does not fully click for me.
