Outside by Sarah Ann Juckes
5.0
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of Outside!
Outside is such. a. CAPTIVATING. read. I honestly couldn't put it down once I met Ele and all of the quirks she's developed as someone on the Inside.
Ele lives on the Inside with the Others, her only friends and companions. They pass each day together, but Ele always has a longing to be on the Outside. She reads about the Outside in her fairytales and hopes that one day she, too, will live on the Outside and get to see everything that is so wonderful about the Outside.
As heartbreaking as her story was at times, Ele is brave, and Sarah Ann Juckes did a wonderful job of reminding readers of that throughout the book. I absolutely adored Ele and Willow and Ezra-Dad and thoroughly enjoyed riding along with Ele as she discovered her world. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say this: Read. This. Book.
