#WOTR18 #Review #NewRelease – Outcast, A Good Guys Novel by Jamie Schossler

OUTCAST

KAYLA
My infatuation with Ezra Johnson started how all obsessions begin—with a simple crush. Over the years I silently soaked up every shy smile and random act of kindness, wrestling them away to a secret place in my heart meant for unrequited love.
Because if it wasn’t for the fact that I tutor him once a week, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t even know I exist.
Then I find his sketchbook.
And it changes everything.

EZRA
There are two certainties in my life: I’ve been in love with Kayla Reynolds since I was fourteen, and I can’t have her.
I’ve spent years settling for a two-dimensional fantasy world, capturing her beauty with a pencil and paper. She’s kind, smart, gorgeous…
And she belongs to someone else.
Or so I thought.
An interesting turn of events makes me realize things aren’t always how they appear on the outside, and now I’ve got my chance to be the man she deserves.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been called a loser. The cripple. An outcast.
But maybe—just maybe—this time the good guy won’t finish last.

I received this book from the authors for an honest review.

OH MAN!!  Ezra!!  I gotta say it.  This is my favorite book of the series. FAVORITE!!!  Ezra and Kayla are such a great read!!

Ezra and Kayla are both blind to the way the other feels about them.  He thinks he is the gimp with the limp and the squishy belly guy so no way would this beautiful girl like him let alone LOOK at him THAT WAY.

Sure Kayla is a popularish girl who is seen as another guys girlfriend but little does everyone know what is really happening between Gavin and Kayla.  Side Note: Gavin needs a book.  He needs some love Jamie!!!

Ok back to the review.  When Kayla discovers Ezra’s secret she decided to go after what she wants buuuut is stunned he pushed her away.  The couple spend the summer writing letters and forming an amazing bond that will help them when they go away to the same college in a few months.

Ezra is such a great guy.  He feels even though he has changed a bit physically he is still not enough for Kayla and makes a few stupid decisions…but I mean even he says Guys do stupid things…..

Kayla is such a sensitive person.  She really loves her people with her entire heart.  She doesn’t let a lot of people in but when she does, you are set for life with her.  Looking at all the people she helps in her life from Gavin to Paul shows the amazing character she has and strength to know when to do the right thing.  Shauna is also a great person for her to connect with and she will help her grow in her charitable contributions.

There is just so much about this story that I love and I wasn’t able to put the book down because I needed to know what would happen….how would the first kiss go?  How would the first of OTHER things go? *wink*  But I loved seeing the two grow as a couple and as individuals in the story.
