Outside is a quick read, and one that draws the reader into the lives of the characters during one particularly life-changing weekend,

For all it's called Outside, it's quite a claustrophobic read as the characters past mistakes slowly come to light. There are a few 'big reveal' moments and I enjoyed the way the author drew the reader in, making them root for one character and then another, (and vice versa) and then revealing something that made them unpleasant/likeable..

My biggest problem with the book was the very abrupt ending, which I felt left too many questions. But until then, I'd really enjoyed the story.

My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my review copy.

One of the "friends" is a known rapist and they take him on this trip? These are the stupidest people who ever lived.

I read this for the Missoula 2023 book challenge. Topic: Weather. Did not love it. The premise was intriguing but fell flat at the end. Not a fan of the writing style-each chapter switches to a different character. I’d be willing to try another by this author but this one was just meh.
