• The Outliers

• Series: The Outliers, Book 1
• By: Kimberly McCreight
• Narrated by: Phoebe Strole

They will go inside your head….

Imagine if you could see inside the minds of everyone around you – your best friend, your boyfriend, your enemy…. Imagine how valuable you would be. … Imagine being in danger…. Imagine being an Outlier.

It all started with one line: “Please, Wylie, I need your help.” Wylie hasn’t heard from her once-best friend, Cassie, for over a week. Not since their last battle. But that does not matter. Cassie is in trouble, and Wylie must do what she does best: save her best friend from herself.

This time, however, it’s different – Cassie’s messages are increasingly confusing and scary. And instead of letting Wylie come by himself, Jasper shows up and says that Cassie asked him for help.

Trusting the super hot guy who pushed Cassie off the rails didn’t seem right, but Wylie had no choice. But as Wylie and Jasper follow Cassie’s strange trail, Wylie increasingly senses that something really isn’t right. What didn’t Cassie tell them? Who is she with, and what do they want from her? And maybe finding her is just the beginning?

I have read a few of her books and really enjoyed them. This is the first book of the series for teenagers. Although the writing is as good as in her adult books, I believe the plot is not as complicated as mine. I have the next two books in the trilogy and look forward to reading them.

The book is really good. Can’t wait for the next one. This is a great suspense story that will take readers on a roller coaster ride. Once the action starts, it won’t stop until it’s over. It will also leave readers wanting to know what happens next. With each clue revealed, the story takes a different turn leaving readers wondering where this will end. Wylie creates a compelling character that keeps the reader hooked.
