Well, this was unfortunate. The Edge of Never has been sitting on my kindle since ,well, forever. And I finally dove in. And, yall. Ugh. It definitely landed on my *did I read a different book than everyone else* shelf.The Gist: Camryn can't deal with her life so she's running away. Yup. Packed a bag and booked it to the bus station picking a random spot across country based on what the ticket agent was eating. And she meets a guy.
So I'll start with the things I DID like:
1) A road trip! I love the adventure and seeing where the road takes you. I wanted to love this book just for that. I do wish they'd done more than just drive hotel to hotel and done some more sightseeing, though.
2) Andrew was a good guy. He's sexy, goes with the flow with a little aggressive edge. He's an easy guy to like.
3) The sex scenes were seriously steamy. There were no problems in that department at all.
4) The cover is amazing.
Which leaves pretty much everything else on the meh side of things.
Over the top dramatic, multiple inconsistencies, a heroine who acted closer to 15 than 20, drama on top of drama that popped up out of nowhere, constant idiotic behavior.
Camryn was difficult to like or root for. She complained about everything down to breakfast at a fast food joint when traveling, thinking any man who even glanced her way planned to rape, kill and dump her body. She was irresponsible and had no common sense. She's so fearful of being hurt yet lies and tells her mother she's in Virginia when she's really in Wyoming. Decides to road trip with someone who she's known for 2 days, has unprotected sex and insists he comes inside her, gets sloppy fall down pass out drunk. She was just ridiculous and blew so many things out of proportion.
There were also weird turns of phrase and continuation blips that made for awkward reading.
And, seriously, the idea that they're doing something new or outside the box is fairly laughable. They want to travel the world and backpack and go with the wind. Yeah, that's not an original thought at all. Pretty sure most college age kids have that notion.
Honestly I don't know why I kept reading. I'm a masochist, I guess. Things did improve after the hero showed up and I kept thinking there must be something people saw in this to give it such glowing 4 & 5 star reviews but for me...no. It had so many issues and too few redeeming qualities to make it worth the read. I won't be reading this author again.

My `Blogging Reader's Review'
via(booksmoviesfandoms.wordpress. c o m),
★'The Edge Of Never' is a part of the New Adult genre and it definitely has a nice blend of dynamics in the story. I was already familiar with the author, J.A. Redmerski because of another book series of hers that I love titled `In The Company Of Killers", which I will also be doing a review of in the near future. The one thing I always like to let readers know about is whether you get more than one P.O.V.(point of view) in the story. I am happy to report that yes, you will get both main characters' of the story, Camryn and Andrew's P.O.V.'s.
In `The Edge Of Never' we meet twenty year old Camryn Bennett `Cam' as her friends call her, who lives a pretty average life. She has a couple of close friends that she's known for years. She's always felt like she wanted more out of life, she just never knew what `more' meant to her. Her life has been a roller-coaster of events which include her parents divorce, the death of her boyfriend Ian who she considered to be the love of her life and having her older brother Cole in prison for killing a man in a drunk driving accident.
One night, Cam reluctantly agrees to go out with her long time best friend Natalie to a night club. Natalie's boyfriend Damon, who also is one of Cam's old friends, goes with them to the club known as `The Underground'. Something happens that night, adding to the growing list of reasons that make Cam assess her life in a way that makes her question why she hasn't acted upon that urge inside of her to make changes in her life as well as get some distance from everyone and everything. That feeling of needing a change in her life becomes stronger, making her feel like she must do something about it. And she finally listens to it.
You can't help but feel bad for Cam because she's had so much taken away or pulled apart in her life. Soon after Cam began working at a new job, she decides to do something unexpected and unplanned because of her growing frustrations. Cam had planned to travel around the world with Ian after they finished school but as we know, the future never happened for him. After Ian, she vowed to herself that she would never fall in love again.
She grabs a few minor items, with no actual plan or destination and she sets out on her journey. On this spur-of the-moment trip to `anywhere on a Greyhound', Cam doesn't know that her life will be altered forever once again when she meets a handsome stranger named Andrew Parrish. Their meeting didn't seem like much at first but trust begins to grow between them both, to the point that they become travel buddies during their trip across a handful of states together.
Cam doesn't know that Andrew harbors his own secrets that he has no plans of sharing with her. But why would he? They just met and still plan on going down their own separate paths once they reach their parting destination. They both have their minds set on knowing neither will see each other again once this trip is done. Well, that is what Cam and Andrew keep telling themselves anyway...
This story takes you on the road with Cam and Andrew as they travel and hesitantly get more intrigued with one another during the long bus ride. Somehow the trip begins to heal them and unite them in ways that were unexpected. It seems that as their feelings grow, the harder the connection becomes to ignore. Is it lust or is it love? And will Andrew's secrets be too much for Cam to handle since she has her own baggage to deal with from the life she took a break from?
This is a story about finding your way to where you need to be in life emotionally and physically even if you can't understand where life is taking you. It also takes you on the journey with two people who felt lost in their own lives in different ways but somehow brought each other to a place of healing that they both needed desperately. It's such a beautiful story with quite a few passionate scenes that fit well with the characters themselves and who they are. The story definitely pulled at my emotions and I was completely enamored with the bond that's developed between the characters.
I recommend `The Edge Of Never" to those who like a story beyond just a regular `boy meets girl' kind of love story. I'm sure it will evoke the thrilling, heart-wrenching and satisfying feelings in you as the reader as well. And one final thing... four words will forever remind me of this story Dust In The Wind.)
💕There is a follow-up book to `The Edge Of Never' expected out November 5th, 2013 titled `The Edge Of Always'💕
There will also be a spinoff based on characters introduced in book two titled `SONG OF THE FIREFLIES' (Thanks to J.A. Redmerski for that info!)
My Idea of what "Camryn and Andrew" look like
Gabrielle Wilde as Camryn
Steven McQueen as Andrew Parrish

(This review comes straight from my blog

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is new to the New Adult Fiction genre and/or who wants to explore what the genre is really about.
(Side Note New Adult Fiction novels are intended for more mature audiences, typically 18-25 years old. These novels often display colorful language and much more detailed sexual themes than you would find in a Young Adult novel. Parents of younger children, consider this my caution to you.)
The Edge of Never is a riveting coming-of-age / self-discovery novel about a girl coming into her own as sexual adult being. Serving as the catalyst for her self discovery is a man who brings out the best (and the worst) in her and teaches her to experience life without hesitations. I think this book explores many issues pertinent facing the New Adult audiences today, such as the gender roles (masculine behavior vs feminine behavior) we assign to our children from a young age, and about female sexuality and the stigmas society places against women as sexual beings.
I feel it is also important to add that some of the things the author says in the book about women's sexual roles sets the feminism movement back about 30 years. If you're overly sensitive to the idea of a woman 'belonging' to her man, I suggest finding another book to read.
Happy Reading!
