This book fucked with my feelings and made me cry which I should have seen coming knowing the premise of the book but still was not expecting. 

I read this book in less than one day and I just needed to know what was going to happen. It literally had hooks in me and would not let go until the end.

I was so excited to hear that Bad Girls Never Say Die was a gender-flipped reimagining of The Outsiders and I was not disappointed! It was definitely its own story with points that honor The Outsiders. So don’t worry about it being the same plot because I can promise you that it is not!

I highly recommend this book to everybody! Especially if The Outsiders was one of your favorite books in middle school!

I loved this book. I felt seen in this book. It was hard for me to start the book at first. But after the triggering scene I couldn’t put the book down. I also decided for myself that this was a book to read in the after hours. So If I wanted to cry, I could.
