Cutler Ryder was everything I wasn't. He was the hockey star. I was an outcast. He was best friends with my stepbrother, that same stepbrother who hated me. His two parents loved him. My mom was a junkie. My dad barely knew me. Years passed. I got my life together. Cut went onto NHL stardom. Then there was a text. I was drinking. There was a party. Cut was there... I loved Cutler Ryder since the first moment I saw him. The only problem? He never knew I existed.

The Not-Outcast

Megan Lowe

This was a solid story. I absolutely adored Cut, Hendrix, Melanie, Sasha, JJ, Reba, Otis, and Bessie.
Cheyenne was a little harder to get my head around, but I think this was due to some great writing. Cheyenne’s problems were so well written, and because of that, so easy to understand and sympathise with.
I do wish, however, that we could’ve seen more of Chad, and Deek, and Koala Boy.
I also wish there was more physical love between Cut and Cheyenne. This was a highly emotional book, but I wanted a little bit more spice.
Still, another great Tijan book, give it a go!!

This is such a good read and not just bc of romance. the lead girl struggling so much about family and mental health. I could relate to her so much. Not as exaggerated as her ofc but this book touched me so deeply.

Tijan has done it again! She wrote another addicting romance story that I immediately fell in love with. Like it’s different from the rest of her books. We have a hockey romance story with new characters from Tijan. And they are totally different from her previous books. We get to meet Cheyenne who is so cute that you want to protect her at all costs, especially discovering what she is dealing with and always will have to do with. And it definitely helps that Cut shares the same feelings with us.I won’t go into too much detail because I do not want to spoil anything. But I got to say that I immediately love Cheyenne and Cut together. They have such chemistry for each other that you just know that they are meant to be. They may face some challenges, especially from her so-called family but they can overcome them. Expect some juicy drama going on cause family is never easy to deal with.

Cutler Ryder was best friends with my stepbrother - I have loved him since, but he never knew I existed. 

Years have gone by and I got my life together. Oh, and Cut, he made it to the NHL - a real hockey superstar.

But there was a party, a party that I attended and Cut was there..

I love quirky and messy characters - those that show their imperfectness. Those are the ones that I can relate to and love to read about them.
