Summary:
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart. Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind. With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love. But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?

Review:
I was SO happy to read this book! From all the hype from the reviews about how good this book is, I just had to get it! And I'm do glad that I did.
Despite this being a self-published book, J.A. Redmerski is an amazing writer, and I cannot wait to read her future works. This book is really good. This story is set up between Camyrn and Andrew's POV though the book is mostly told from Cam's eyes.

I loved the chemistry between Camryn and Andrew. It's so cute, adorbable, and gushy. But things start to change when they start to get to know more about each other and things start to get passionate. And I mean PASSIONATE!

I understand that some YA and New Adult books don't really have sex scenes in them, but this book does, just a fair warning. I was a little shocked by it, but I eventually got over it, for it is intense.

But that ending. I couldn't help but squeal both in shock and excitement because of what happened. It was powerful, and to me, I didn't see it coming. Not at all. Emotional, shocking....both sad and happy. But I believe that as much as I became attached to the characters, mostly Cam and Andrew, I think that so many other readers will as well.

One thing that I didn't like about this book was the beginning on how Natalie just threw away her and Cam's friendship because of what Nat's boyfriend attempted to do,  calling her a "lying bitch"! Like, what friend does that?! Especially knowing them for like years.
Camryn was just telling the truth than not telling at all, which I think was a good thing to do.

Another thing I didn't like about The Edge of Never was that Cam was first shy, and independent, and cautious, but now because of Andrew, he brings out the "wild and bad side" of her. This is a problem because I see this happening through many of YA and a little bit of New Adult novels. And that, "I can't live/breath/be without you" and "I love you so much, it hurts me." and "I have to be with you forever as long as I live." and the "You're mine. Mine, mine, mine, and mine always."
Submissive much? But I belie Cam was submissive throughout the whole time that before she met Andrew, even though at times she did stick up to and for herself so I won't completely complain about Cam. Another thing is that,


Conclusion:
I couldn't recommend this book enough!
Just for explicit sexual content, this book is of course would be more directed towards 18+.
This book has romance, drama, secrets, angst, humor, and a bunch of stuff.
This book will definitely belong on the Keeper Bookshelf. And there IS  a sequel coming out called The Edge of Always. And here is the link

I CANNOT wait to get the cover reveal for the sequel because it'll show Andrew and it'll be from HIS point of view. I always wanted to know what he looked like...
I love this book, and I would defintely rate it:

4.6/5
