How can he act so calm and collected after he just stole my first kiss? Riley Summers doesn’t quite fit in the Fairfield High crowd. She listens to Led Zepplin and watches Star Wars—not your usual teenage girl favorites. She has been fine with living in the fringes of her high school scene until Aiden Callaway, Fairfield’s infamous rebel hunk, “kidnaps” her one afternoon. He eventually lets her go, but their time together is far from over. Join Riley and Aiden on their senior year journey—a year of Star Wars movie marathons, a crashed wedding, a paint war, and something a keen, growing attraction. This might be your next favorite rebel-boy-and-nerd-girl romance. Grab your copy now!

Nope
Maybe I misunderstood but it appears like the ma!e love interest gives the main character her first kiss and then goes over to her bullies house to hook up with her right after... Even if they're only officially friends at that point, unacceptable

Outcasts was such a cute book!! Each character was written to perfection. I loved the banter between Aiden and Riley. So, outcasts is set in high school where Aiden is your typical bad boy and Riley is also your typical shy nerd girl. They meet in a way where I just laughed out loud. So, they are at school and Aiden runs into Riley, which makes her fall. Thus starts their first argument where Aiden says Riley shouldn't have been in his way and Riley says he should apologize or ask if she's okay since he ran into her. Then they are being chased and he basically kidnaps her (just for short period of time--I swear!). Aside from that, Aiden's dad is getting re-married, which he does not approve, and Riley's mom somehow suggests to her friend that she would love to be a bridesmaid, which she also did not approve. Spoiler Alert: Riley is a bridesmaid in Aiden's dads wedding! They definitely had their ups and downs but they deal with them together. I really enjoyed this book, thank you kindle unlimited.

Outcasts is a beautiful story which deserves to be out in the world touching readers hearts the world over.. one feels the trepidation of 2 hearts realising they're about to begin an amazing journey through trials and tribulations which two people become aware that their process to building and sharing an immense love for one another.. is definitely unfolding and blossoming as with any journey there will a Rollercoaster ride of the readers experiencing the curiousity, the butterflies, the laughter, the sorrow, the confusion, tears.... but it's the euphoria and the climax that will have folks recommending this story for years to come.
I read Outcasts on a social reading app called Wattpad and it was truly an amazing experience which has me wanting purchase the story when the publishers release it..

A cute read, but it would have been better if Aiden's relationship with his father improved towards the end. I get that Aiden's angry and heart broken about the whole new family thing, but they're all nice people and if only he gave them a REAL chance, especially Anna (stepmom), instead of opening his mouth and slashing every now and then, everything would have turned up right and better.
Nevertheless, it was a fun, quick read and I really enjoyed Riley's and Aiden's banters. I also loved the friendships. I actually have a lot of things to say on how this book could have been better since I actually liked it. But since I'm looking for a bit of a fluffy read, I think this is quite good despite the flaws. ❤

Poorly executed
I feel guilty leaving only 1 star I know the author is only 19.... but then maybe a better editor was needed? This was written like I imagine a high schoolers fiction story would be written. Each sentence had the same basic structure and it was overly descriptive in a very juvenile way.
Basically every paragraph could have been pared down to one more complex better written sentence.
As for the plot very basic bad boy meets nerdy girl. I don’t know if it was due to the structure of the writing or not but Riley the MC read like she was autistic (she reminded me of an MC I’d read that had Aspergers) very monotone and robotic in her commentary, not very aware of social interactions.

I read this book when I was really young and it was one that really stood out for me because it was the first teen fiction kind of romance I ever read. I was always reading crime thriller books and this one interested me a lot. And when I say I was young reading this, I was VeRY young. So now reading it in my 20’s I’ve realised how much of a poor book it is in terms of everything. I really liked it but it had no substance. The main character Riley had no personality. The only thing she had going for her was her band shirts, her brown hair amongst the blondes, her nerdiness and the facts that “she’s not like all girls”. Goddamn.
Still for my younger self I remember loving this book so for that reason it deserves 3 1/2 stars ⭐️ instead of JUST 3.

Sweet teenage angst
This book was, in simple terms, cute. I enjoyed the banter between Riley and Aiden. Not to mention that Aiden is the typical hot bad boy that most young girls wish existed in their lives. The story line was good, relatable, and entertaining. I wasn't really a fan of how long it took to describe the main characters, and even when the description took place it was very vague, but I guess that's what a reader's imagination is for. I did enjoy this book a lot, would definitely read it again.

I read this book back when the author was still publishing chapters on Wattpad. I remember when she added the bonus chapter for the rehearsal dinner and I loved every word of it. However, I was maybe 14 then, if that? Now, I'm 24, it's been 10 whole years at least since I've read it. I got a Kindle, I knew she published the book years ago officially and wanted to reread it after I saw it was free on Kindle Unlimited.
My expectations were high considering this was probably my most loved book on Wattpad back in the day. Reading it as a teenage girl made it a lot more relatable and amazing in my mind. However, I admit now that I am almost in my mid twenties, this book is definitely targeted for a high schooler or middle schooler. There isn't really much substance and it's clear that the main character is too innocent compared to the male lead. The book used to be titled the nerd girl and the bad boy and it's clear why. I cringed at the overuse of the word Outcasts, even though I remember that being there in the Wattpad book.
I guess if you are not in college or older this book would be a great read, and appropriate for your age group, however if you're like me and more of an adult than a teenager or child, this wouldn't probably suite your reading needs.
Especially in a romance book. I still give it 5 stars because younger me always thought it was and like I mentioned, this would be a great read for a teenager or someone who only reads innocent YA books.
Hoping that if there ever is a sequel, it isn't something written in the same style and that the main character grows out of being a nerd and nothing more. As for the male lead, again if there ever is a sequel, I hope he learns from his ways and doesn't keep acting out like a teenage bad boy when he gets hurt.

Was this written by a 14 year old love smitten girl that has never been in a relationship and thinks that this kind of relationships are what people actually want because no thank you. Also the pacing was so fast. The "love" if that's what you want to call it was ridiculous. Nope I do not recommend this book.

Just absolutely terrible
This book was so boring. I kept reading, hoping it would get better. Plus I don't understand why there were random chapters from a minor characters POV? Definitely do not recommend.

3.5 stars. It was pretty good, but I typically like a little suspense or mystery to my romances. I felt like it needed a little more depth to it. I could have done without some of the language. Overall not too bad though.

Cliche wattpad which was what I expected so I wasn't too disappointed. I liked the plot but the end just seemed to drag on forever and I wish the characters were a little developed more and had more defined relationships. Good little binge read though.

This was immature. No character growth, no storyline and the mmc is bad. He cheats on Riley and the author just makes it look okay.
I feel the FMC deserved better. Also the hangups of the MMC with his father were a bit much.
Nope... this needs a revamp.

Dude! I love this book so much! Once I had finally got the book I read it in less than 24 hours because of how much I loved it. At every chance given I'd pull it out and start reading.

Not a fan
For some reason, I had to read it to the end when I was like, “Wtf type of ending is that?! This book is dumb.” The Outcasts part seems far fetched and cliche.

I've been wanted to read this book since I read the preview of chapter one of it on a book I read before. And finally I finished reading it. It was a good book with a cute story.

I hated the ending... I think there was more opportunity to develop his personal family side.

The hero was a douche honestly!
But it was a very good book.

Think John Hughes
Loved this story. Think Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club. Relatable at any age. Riley and Aiden just work. Need to read. Will not disappoint.

I loved this book it was so cute!!
I first read this book on Wattpad before it was published and then when I got the notification that it was published I went out and brought it asap. It still holds a special place on my bookshelf and come to think of it I need to re-read it because it’s been too long!
