Ebook provided by author in exchange for an honest review.Outsiders is a short little novella about a small town that gets a visit from a mysterious group of people that will be staying for a while. Soon enough, the town realizes there people are not what they seem, but, could they be realizing this a little too late?This novella made me love small towns more. I always like stories with small towns, because we get a more "homey feel to it".In this story, the protagonist's name is Hannah, and she's a really relatable character. She's tired of living in a small town, and wants to go to college and make a better life for herself. Things change when she meets Jaise, one of the visitors, and feels a deep attraction for him.Hannah was outspoken, honest, and headstrong. She knew what she wanted and when she wanted it.For a story with so little pages, you don't expect good character development or good plot building, but with this novella, you do.I didn't think there were any plot holes, and the story was nicely developed.The only reason why I took of a star from my review, was because of Hannah and Jaise's relationship. I find that with a story so short, the love felt more like "instalove". It felt sometimes too forced to be real.Overall, Outsiders is a good novella. With only about 65 pages, there's no reason why you shouldn't read it
