About this audiobook
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 blessed—or cursed—with 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 isn’t the only one at risk. Ever since they returned home, Jasper has been spiraling, wracked with guilt over what happened to Cassie. After all they’ve been through together, Wylie and Jasper would do anything for each other, but she doesn’t 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?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wow, what a cliff-hanger! Can't wait to start book #3.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not as good as the first one but a big twist at the end almost made up for it! It dragged a bit like I find most #2 books do when there is going to be a third one
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the second book in the Outliers series by Kimberly McCreight. An outlier is a person who is hyper sensitive to other's emotions. They feel what we truly feel as if it's their own. Starting from the end of the last book, Wiley finds herself struggling with the realization that she is an outlier and finding her place when she is suddenly kidnapped and her father is missing.
This book had some great plot twists and drama in it that I couldn't stop until I was finished. Then, right when I was sure what the ending would be, it ended with a surprising twist that I kind of saw coming, but was happy nonetheless.
