The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight

 My Rating: 4.7

Wylie hasn’t heard from Cassie in over a week, not since their last fight. But that doesn’t matter. Cassie’s in trouble, so Wylie decides to do what she has done so many times before: save her best friend from herself. This time it’s different, though. Instead of telling Wylie where she is, Cassie sends cryptic clues. And instead of having Wylie come by herself, Jasper shows up saying Cassie sent him to help. Trusting the guy who sent Cassie off the rails doesn’t feel right, but Wylie has no choice but to ignore her gut instinct and go with him.

I read The Good Marriage by this author and enjoyed it so that is what made me pick this one up. I think this was even better! I could tell it was Young Adult but, it was well written. The perfect suspense thriller to curl up with on a chilly night. Love the build up of suspense, the characters and the short chapters that kept me flipping the pages for more. I was thrilled to find that this is a series so I am hoping the library will have the second book in this series. In the meantime, I am going to definitely read more by McCreight.
