That Was Then, This Is Now discussion

At the beginning of the book it didn't really catch me as the story dragged out as the boys went through their hood causing trouble and hustling. It wasn't till the middle of the book that really sucked me in as the boys relationship fell apart as they argued over a girl, not only that the book got even more intense as Bryon figures out a big secret about Mark that changes their relationship for good. This is a good book for anyone who had read the book "The outsiders" by S.E. Hinton because it brings back the wild ride of the greaser type story as they live out the struggles of hustling money at a young age with little parental protection.
