Spoiler Free Review -A MUST READ
5 BIG BOLD SHINING STARS!!!
Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance
WARNING: This book is
Heart pounding, Toe curling, Panty melting, Tear shedding, Fist flying, Glass table shattering, Thought provoking GREAT! Yeah, it's that good!
And if you don't believe me... Read it yourself;)
"For the first time in my life, I’ve felt whole, alive, free. You were the missing piece of my soul, the breath in my lungs, the blood in my veins. I think that if past lives are real then we have been lovers in every single one of them. I’ve known you for a short time, but I feel like I’ve known you forever." ~Andrew
Some books rise above others. PERIOD. They take you on intense heartfelt journey's that will stick with you for forever. This book accomplished that and then some. The Edge of Never will cause readers to look at their lives knowing that all things are possible. And that you should never conform to the standards set by people/the world. Life is more than your customary daily routine. You just need to step outside of the box. Break your regular rituals and do something different. Live in the moment!
'This is your life.' ~Inner monologue of Camryn
When 20yr old Camryn Bennet feels her life is becoming a repeat of the same old things everyday of the week. She makes a spontaneous decision by packing a bag, buying a bus ticket and allowing her gut intuition to choose her destination. Following pure instinct to control her destiny she crosses the path of Andrew Parrish. Andrew shares a similar outlook on life as Camryn. They become friends; both internally fighting the feelings they develop for one another. But we all know in the end...the heart wants...what the heart wants.
'THE HEART ALWAYS WINS out over the mind. The heart, although reckless and suicidal and a masochist all on its own, always gets its way. The mind may be what’s best, but I don’t give a shit what my mind is telling me anymore. Right now, I just want to live in the moment.' ~Inner monologue of Andrew
Their friendship soon becomes a passionate love affair. Andrew teaches Cam to live in the moment, say what's on her mind, to let down her guard and to try new exciting things. And she does. And in doing so she finds the love of her life. Andrew. Problem is he has a secret.
Thoughts
The book definitely has a slow build and at one point I remember thinking "okay, where is this story going?" All of those doubts I had suddenly took a back seat when the story shot off like a rocket. It left me sobbing hysterically at 3am. I don't want to say more... In fear of giving to much away. So I'll say I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! READ IT!
Fave lines said and unsaid
'Never thought I’d intentionally sleep on a bathroom floor next to a toilet while sober, but I meant it when I said I would sleep anywhere with her.'
~Inner monologue of Andrew
'I could die in this bed with him right now, wrapped in his arms and I would never know that I had died.' ~Cam
“If you were to let me fuck you, you would have to let me own you.” ~Andrew
“I belong to you, Andrew Parrish… I want you to own me….” ~Cam
My Ratings
Characters- Lovable and Witty
Writing Style- Excellent, very Solid, sometimes Intense
Storyline/Plot- Highly Emotional, Honest and Thought provoking
Steam Factor- High/Very Steamy
Overall- I LOVED IT! IT'S A MUST READ!!!!
Now go forth and read. Then come tell us about it on Goodreads!

I can't wait to read your review. Enjoy (:


There was so much I wanted to say yet didn't in my review.... I almost threw in the towel with this book by marking it a DNF. I cannot freaking believe it... So so good!!!


Yes, I do agree with Maryse, this has a TSOT vibe. The two main characters carry a certain depth and understanding for life, which makes them unique in a way. Especially for them to be so young. Goodness, the more I talk about them the more I wanna add to my review. LOL!!!!



Thank you Linda!! I too am excited to see what life brings them next!



LOL!! I'm happy you enjoyed this as much as I did!! <3
