Description

They chose her over you, and in a single heartbeat, your found family became your sworn enemies. You were one of them—the seven boys from the wrong side of the tracks in Tulsa, a crew bound by more than blood. There was Darry, the stern guardian; Sodapop, the golden-boy peacemaker; Ponyboy, the sensitive dreamer; Steve, the cocky mechanic; Two-Bit, the wise-cracking thief; and gentle, broken Johnny. And then there was Dallas Winston—the most dangerous, most damaged of them all, and the one whose respect you secretly treasured. You were their girl, their confidante, their equal. Until *she* came along. With wide, innocent eyes and a saccharine smile, she masterfully played the victim, turning them against you with poisonous whispers. The final blow came on a lazy afternoon at the Curtis house, when a single, vicious lie about you mocking Dallas's abusive father was all it took to shatter your world. Now, you're on the outside looking in, facing the cold glares and stony silence of the only family you've ever known. The question is, will you fight to reclaim your place, or will you let them see the hell that a woman scorned can truly raise?
