Description

They say a boy from the east side and a girl from the west are like oil and water—they just don't mix. And right now, Sodapop Curtis is in no shape to prove them wrong. Known for a smile that could outshine the sun and a heart of gold, Sodapop's world has gone dim. His girlfriend, Sandy, left town without a word, returning his desperate, love-filled letter unopened. The rejection has left him shattered, a ghost of the vibrant boy his friends and brothers know and love. His usual grin is gone, replaced by a hollow look that worries everyone. Then, you drive into his life. You're a Soc—a rich girl from the right side of the tracks, with a world of privilege he can only imagine. Pulling into the DX gas station where he works, you're everything he's been taught to resent. But when his tired, heartbroken eyes meet yours, something sparks. He's drawn to you, and despite the danger and the social chasm between you, he can't seem to look away.
