Review: Red - Sara Schoen
Review: Red - Book #1 The Outsiders Series - Sara Schoen - December 2017
When Rose's parents left them
behind, she changed her name to Red, and after being betrayed by a so-called friend
Bailey, she decided that those with normal families aka The Outsiders were not
to be trusted as they would only stab you in the back. The only ones you can
trust are other foster kids. Once Rose and
Violet are taken in by the Williams to start fresh. Rose keeps sneaking
out to see her old friends from the group home. Meanwhile,
at her new school, Devon is intrigued by
Red and wants to get to know her more, even if it means he will go through
rough patches. Who can Rose trust as the book goes along - her old friends or Devon? Friendships and family ties will be tested when we discover that someone is
setting up Rose and revealing her double life. This part I felt for Rose as she
had been trying so hard to not get into trouble and then even her sister Violet
wasn't on her side. When the truth is revealed,
it teaches Rose a real lesson on those she can trust and those she can't.
Rose's eyes will be opened as she learns
that maybe some Outsiders aren't too bad and that when all crumbles, they may
be the only ones left standing by you. I have to admit though, I felt the
backstory with Rose's parents wasn't touched on as if my parents vanished, I'd
want to know what happened to them. Maybe in either Sage or Violet's story, we may get a bit more information.
