KAYLA
My infatuation with Ezra Johnson started how all obsessions begin—with a simple crush. Over the years I silently soaked up every shy smile and random act of kindness, wrestling them away to a secret place in my heart meant for unrequited love.
Because if it wasn’t for the fact that I tutor him once a week, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t even know I exist.
Then I find his sketchbook.
And it changes everything.

EZRA
There are two certainties in my life: I’ve been in love with Kayla Reynolds since I was fourteen, and I can’t have her.
I’ve spent years settling for a two-dimensional fantasy world, capturing her beauty with a pencil and paper. She’s kind, smart, gorgeous…
And she belongs to someone else.
Or so I thought.
An interesting turn of events makes me realize things aren’t always how they appear on the outside, and now I’ve got my chance to be the man she deserves.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been called a loser. The cripple. An outcast.
But maybe—just maybe—this time the good guy won’t finish last.

Although OUTCAST is the fourth book in the Good Guys series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

I didn't think much will come of it, perhaps because the blurb didn't give too much away, the build up, wow the build between these two characters just had me wanting to keep reading without stopping. I just loved how Ezra grew and I loved how Kayla loved him. They were just perfect for each other, you can sense the deep connection when reading. I just loved it.

Reviewed in Australia on 15 March 2018
I’m sitting here wondering why I have never read a book by Jamie until now. I have been missing out on something, and trust me when I say I will be going back and reading the others as soon as I can!

Outcast is beautiful! It is such a sweet tale of young love. I just can’t seem to put my thoughts into words. This book is incredible. I cried at least 3 times within the first 11% of this novel. But overall I cried a bit! I felt for Ezra, I really did, he is such a beautiful character, so caring, so amazing, so strong. Kayla is equally beautiful and strong. I loved them both so much! I loved them together, they were made for each other.

Jamie’s writing drew me In and captivated me from start to finish. I didn’t want to put this book down and I devoured it pretty fast. I can’t wait to read Jamie’s other work now! I recommend this book to everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartfelt and wonderful story
Reviewed in Australia on 29 March 2018
This book was everything and the characters where everything for each other as they travel their journey together to find their rightful place in the world. This is only the second book by Jamie Schlosser that I have read and I am just loving her writing style and the emotional story of this book. Unrequited love is something most of us can relate to at some point in our lives so the character story was so easy to believe. These where two characters that had their own issues in life and where the outcast of high school but will collage change them for the better? I have not read any of the other A Good Buys Novel but if they are anything like this one I will be adding them to my list. I received an ARC copy of this coming of age romance book and this is my honest review that I voluntary give.

Everyone knows someone that was different, got teased, or left out. What did you do or say about it… this story looks at Ezra, his struggles, the love he feels and the love he finds. Simply beautiful.

É aqueles livros fofinhos com uma história bem simples e previsível, mas falta aquela emoção de ler e o coração acelerar, ou aquela identificação com o personagem, tudo é bem resolvido e simples mesmo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A COMING OF AGE STORY THAT IS JUST WOW!
Reviewed in the United States on 26 January 2021
Verified Purchase
I've only read a handful of YA/NA romances before but none of them hit on so many RL issues like this one did. Adult romances are usually pretty much fantasy to be honest. But this YA story put me right back in the boiling caldron of high school and college dynamics—the group mentality and peer pressure, as well as the idealism and hopefulness, and the confusion of trying to process it all while searching for your place and purpose in the midst of it.

Yikes. This was a lot to include in just one book but it does illustrate how bombarded young people are with issues of conscience. There's tons of content in here—personal experiences like shaming, bullying, and hazing—but also broader social issues like homelessness, adoption, diversity, disabilities, LGBTQ issues, and the role that art can/should play in society. But overarching all of that is the theme of self acceptance and personal authenticity. This book could have been expanded into a whole series for this couple alone.

Why there was so much incorporated into this one book is still a mystery to me—but I was good with it. The big picture is impressive but at the same time, the romance should not be forgotten in all of this. With each other Ezra and Kayla can take on the world and there's a lesson in that. We can make the world better one person at a time.

This book will stick with me for a while. The connection between the characters is so strong and the topics so relevant that it can't be brushed aside as soon as you pick up your next book. It's good thoughtful reading for those who like some substance with their happy endings.

The Good Guys series is a great series and this is no exception. Romance, tears, laughter....this book along with the first 3 have it all.
They spent so many years not knowing their feelings for each other only to come out on their way to college. Another HEA with all the feels.
