Spilled Milk by KL Randis - 4 Stars 

Spilled milk is the story of Brooke, who was abused as a young child and teenager by her father. The story timelines her life from shortly before the abuse started up through her graduation from college and becoming a mother herself. 

I read this for another challenge. This book came up on the list of true crime stories on Goodreads so I thought I would give it a try. 
It was a hard to stomach in places, I will admit. It was certainly a heartbreaking story that will make you sad and mad at the same time.

I loved this book!  The two lives of the girls are woven together and the twist at the end was something that I didn't see coming. Two thumbs up for Revolution.

The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight - 5 Stars

Wylie hasn't heard from her best friend, Cassie, in over a week, but when she receives a text from her asking for help, Wylie rushes to her aid. But instead of coming out and saying where she is, Cassie just sends cryptic clues and vague texts. Wylie and Cassie's boyfriend Jasper head north and follow the clues with hopes of finding Cassie before something terrible happens. Things turn dangerously really quick. What is Cassie hiding and what lies ahead for Wylie and Jasper?

This was a fast paced read that kept me turning pages. It's the first in a series and the ending definitely left me hanging. I will probably pick up the 2nd one when it comes out.
