Book Information
When Emily was offered a new job in London, she was sure that her life was about to change – new friends, a career in the big city and the boyfriend she always wanted.
Her new life turns out to be more complicated than she expected. Her flat mates don’t understand her. Her colleagues mock everything about her. Even her father doesn’t support her. The only person who offers her any encouragement is David.
He’s married. He’s her manager. To Emily it’s clear that they have something special. As their relationship develops, everyone seems to want to sabotage their chances.
But some things are meant to be...

My Review
4☆ A Compelling & Authentic Contemporary Fiction
Outreach is a tense, compelling and poignant read.
Emily had just started working as a support worker for vulnerable adults who have Drug and Alcohol problems.
Emily struggles to fit in at work and it feels like she's treading water. She finds it a little overwhelming and doesn't feel that her mentor Fran supports her enough.
But one person who does take an interest in her is David.
David is kind, considerate, flattering, supportive and Charasmatic.
But he is also Emily's Boss, his Older, Married and has a family. It doesn't stop Emily obsessing over him. As we all know, we all want what we can't have!
Emily is a very interesting, fascinating and complex character, she is socially awkward, lacks confidence, lacks self worth, has a hard time fitting in, she has a vulnerable and has an endearing insecure side, but also an obsessive, compulsive and slightly darker side.
There are some sensitive subjects such which some readers may find difficult to read but Berry has written them with the right amount of sensitivity to still make an impact and relevance to the plot.
I really enjoyed reading Outreach it's very different and made a refreshing change.
The story is well written, the characters are complex yet endearing, it has some tense and dark times which I loved. The pace flows along nicely, with plenty of Drama and twists.
What really shined through for me was Berry's extensive and valuable experience she has with working with vulnerable people, because of this it made the read all the more authentic and real.
Overall Outreach is a compelling and intriguing read thats authentic and at times tense. I'm really looking forward to reading more from Shelly Berry.
