Summary:

ME?

A LEADER?

Okay, I did prove that there’s more to Inside than we knew. That a whole world exists beyond this cube we live in. And finding that led to a major rebellion—between worker scrubs like me and the snobby uppers who rule our world. Make that ruled. Because of me, we’re free. I thought that meant I was off the hook, and could go off on my own again—while still touching base with Riley, of course. He’s the one upper I think I can trust. But then we learned that there’s outside and then there is Outside.

And something from Outside wants In.

Review:

I enjoyed reading Outside In and I didn't really expect that I would. The dystopian genre appeal to me so much ever since I read a series in that same theme.

Trella is back on exploring air ducts but this time without the fear that she will be caught by the PopCops. The rebellion has ended and the Insiders have a new committee to lead them. What they don't know is freedom might not be beyond their reach.

When I read the first book, Inside Out, I was impressed with the world building. The futuristic theme may be a usual one for a story but the author managed to create her unique stories for the series. I liked the character development. In this book, Trella's character is admirable. You'd learn she's not always as tough as we think but she also has her weaknesses and limitations. It's good to read the development of Trella and Riley's relationship. The new characters are introduced timely with respect to the events happening in the book. The conspiracies and conflicts are well written that you wouldn't stop reading until you know who's the real culprit.

Although there are parts that could be a little boring or should I say confusing with all the terms used in the book, Outside In is still a good sequel for the first book.
