16 posts | 12 read | 17 to read
New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight raises the stakes in the second book of the heart-pounding Outliers trilogy, a uniquely speculative story about secrets, betrayal, and a world where one small group of people are blessedor cursedwith an incredible power. Wylie may have escaped the camp in Maine, but she is far from safe. The best way for her to protect herself is to understand her ability, fast. But after spending a lifetime trying to ignore her own feelings, giving in to her ability to read other peoples emotions is as difficult as it is dangerous. And Wylie isnt the only one at risk. Ever since they returned home, Jasper has been spiraling, wracked with guilt over what happened to Cassie. After all theyve been through together, Wylie and Jasper would do anything for each other, but she doesnt know if their bond is strong enough to overcome demons from the past. It is amid this uncertainty and fear that Wylie finds herself confronted with a choice. She was willing to do whatever it took to help Cassie, but is she prepared to go to the same extremes to help complete strangers . . . even if they are just like her?

I stand in the dark, barefoot and cold on the edge of the sharp rocks, staring out over the long stretch of black water in front of me. And I wonder if I really can make it all the way to that small light on the dock in the distance.

Mehso-so

2½✨
Still action packed with unforeseen twists and surprises.
But not as good as the first book. The ending is a major pet peeve of mine... and impacts my rating big time.

I now have double the amount of questions I had at the end of the first book, so I'm hoping the third book will not disappoint.

TheSpineView Some the middle bookmof a series is justxa set-up for tge next book. With any luck the 3rd book will be good. 14mo
Enchanted_Bibliophile @TheSpineView Jip, this was definitely a set-up scenario. 14mo
Clwojick Great job! 14mo
Andrew65 I suppose without so-so books we wouldn‘t recognise the excellent books. Well done 👏👏👏 14mo

This book is an absolute mess. After the strange bait-and-switch ending where I thought the next book would be Wylie running for her damn life, this book is truly wandering senselessly around different storylines, from Wylie's new powers to investigating her mother's death to being stalked by some random scientific cult to worrying about Jasper's mental health to dealing with her psychiatrist. My brain is in a muddle trying to keep up.

Officially on vacation for a week, so I can't wait to see how many books I can read! This one is the second book in the Outlier series (and you would need to read the first one to understand this one). It was a quick read and I enjoyed it

So many twists and turns right down the the last sentence. I still have no idea what's happening.. I hope there are some answers in the last book!!

Jess7 This is on my #TBR list, but I need to read #Outliers first. I've read a some of her other books that I would recommend: Reconstructing Amelia and 7y
MelissaSue81 This one definitely needs to be read in order after the outliers. I already read her other two books and loved them. These are quite a bit different but still really good! 7y
MelissaSue81 Oh my! Book three doesn't have a title or release date yet!! 7y

I remembering LOVING the first book. But am also a little hazy on it so this one took a little for me to get into. Overall I think a good story if a little tedious at some points.

A taco lunch while waiting for @TheBookmarkPR to reopen after a power outage -- yes, still haven't finished this one. That's on me, not McCreight: end of school year, too much news, too much twittering! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Slow on my reading these last few days. Real life interferes. End of school year AND compulsive news consumption. 🤷🏻‍♀️

youngreadrshelf Totally agree. I'm swamped with end-of-year conferences and projects. 7y
cherinium Real life has also cut into my reading time lately. 7y
minkyb Real life is unbelievable. 7y
