The Edge Of Never - J.A. Redmerski... Book Review
This book to start with, is absolutely going to ruin any social plans you've made for at least two days if you are planning on reading it... (maybe even only one, if you're really into it and a fast reader ;) )
This book starts off quite quickly, Camryn Bennett and her best friend Natalie go to a club one night and Cam really isn't up for the party so she heads to the roof and finds a guy she knows, Damon. Things escalate quickly, he's been drinking and Camryn doesn't want anything to happen. So, she leaves. She realises that she's in a rut, she can't take it anymore living in her town, doing the same thing everyday, she needs a change quickly.
So then starts her road trip, she's looking for something that helps her become who she wants to be, what makes her happy for once. Camryn has had a hard life, harder than any young person should have to go through, so she's looking for a stress reliever. She wants to feel as young as she is, to feel again.
Then enters, Andrew Parrish, the loner boy with a wicked smile, killer good looks and an attentive, protective side that shocks Camryn.
They meet on a bus as his music is playing too loudly and Cam cannot sleep, so she tells him off. This encounter develops quite quickly as Cam is put in danger and Andrew is her knight in shining armor. All of a sudden the newly formed friends are going to partake in a road-trip, together.
This is where this book sucked me in, they drive to random destinations; both carrying secrets they don't want to share quite yet, while at the same time the chemistry and attraction between them is sometimes too much to bare and I felt like shaking them to tell them to get their act together.
But they've both been hurt before, and they have too much to lose by jumping in too quickly.
Then all at once, they know everything about eachother in an abrupt fight, and over a short period of time they have become obsessed with one another
They don't even think about exchanging phone numbers as they've been glued to each other since day one - and they're perfect for one another. I loved this book. This book is about self-discovery, friendship, love and road trips.
I really enjoyed Andrews character in this book, his personality is very lovable and he's witty, which I always love in male characters. But Andrew is the mystery in this story, not Cam. She seems like a much more open character to me, not that her story isn't devastating and heart breaking but she portrays herself strongly and I know she can handle herself. But Andrews persona that kept me intrigued. He beings her out of her shell and in turn it makes him feel like he's the only person in the world for her, because he is.
I knew that Andrew wasn't being fully honest with himself or with Cam, but over the last fifty pages or so I was worried about him as a character, the shocking twist that Redmerski puts upon her readers is almost cruel.
I love when books do this, reel you in and make you care about the characters, getting emotionally involved is something that I have to have in a book or else I don't enjoy nearly as much.
Making me cringe with embarrassment, squeal at cute moments and cry at the sad. This book certainly ticks all of those boxes.
The ending of this book is shocking with the almost cliffhanger but I then realised there was in fact an epilogue and that made up for the fact that I thought Redmerski was going to leave us all hanging like that. I thought this story was written really well and I liked the relationship that formed between Cam and Andrew. There are quite a few steamy scenes, which I enjoyed because Andrew is now on my book boyfriends list, top five I'd say ;)
I honestly cannot wait to read The Edge Of Always, as I was really late to start reading this novel I'm really sure that this book is going to be excellent and I CANNOT WAIT! :'D
*SPOILERS ALERT*
Favourites;
Fave character? Andrew Parrish.Least favourite character? Damon.
Fave quote? "don't feel bad for not telling me that you loved me. You didn't need to say it. I knew all along that you did."
Fave page? 318 - 319. ( When he explains his tattoo. Can you say fan girl much?)
Fave chapter? Oh I don't know, 1 - 40.
Fave moment? When he comes back to the bus station, because he just a feeling he needs her, and then maybe the ultimatum at the bus station.
This book in my opinion is 5/5.
Thank you for reading ! I'll be back soon with another review soon! :D
