According to the cover on this book, this story is a modern day retelling of The Scarlet Letter. I know a little bit of what that story is about, but I have never read it, so I can't really say how this book compares. I can say though, that I thoroughly enjoyed this well written story, and you do not even have to be familiar with The Scarlet Letter before reading The Outcast; this story stands alone well. So this book is my dreams come true. Beeing such a tender lover, I think I just read the longest slow burn in a book, he got under my skin. Fabian’s life was chaotic and resentful. Have you ever met a character with a dreadful past? Fabian is that character and as soon as he meets Kate, his feelings rejuvenate.

On screen it’s all single stem roses, soft lighting and honeyed declarations of love. In the control room, a one-dimensionally horrid producer called Quinn rants and raves about the “good little meat puppets” not hitting their marks and providing sufficient “crazy” to drive things along the way she wants. Albeit heightened, it’s a very good depiction of TV production and genuinely feels like it’s telling this story in a way that hasn’t been tried before. And this is pretty much the entire book. We're told something is going to happen. We're told it's about to happen. And then we're reminded of what caused it to happen. Kate is straight-laced, serious and seemingly uptight. She faces so much pressure and ridicule from her family. She’s a doctor in a busy hospital ER. when she meets Fabian, becomes a whole new Kate, a tiger who is confident and flirty.
