קצה הסוף

It took longer than I would have liked to feel drawn into this book and the characters. But, once they drew me in, I couldn't put the book down. The writing was better than I expected and the next to last chapter left me gutted and crying. A worthwhile read.

Review originally posted at Doodle's Book BlogNo words can describe the intensity of the unadulterated love that formed between two complete strangers over a relatively short period of time in The Edge of Never. J.A. Redmerski wrote an astonishing story that will always be in my heart.Camryn has had a rough love life. Her high school boyfriend died in a car accident. The next guy cheated on her. After all that who wouldn't give up on the possibility of love. Finally breaking, Cam decided to leave home and get on a bus with no final destination in mind. You could call it fate or coincidence, but the bus takes her to right where she belongs.O.M.G. I laughed hysterically, balled like a baby, and wanted to punch a wall, but mostly I just wish I had a guy like Andrew in my life. Cam has promised herself to never love again, but with that she stopped living. Andrew has had an interesting hand dealt to him, but no one would ever be the wiser. He helps her let go and find herself even when she doesn't want to. I LOVED him.I loved everything about this story. Both Camryn and Andrew found something in each other. Cam learned to live, let loose, and be herself. Andrew found a girl who challenged him. I love that they took their time. It wasn't one of those instant "OMG I Love You!" moments when they met. I love that we got some perspective from Andrew. From his point of view we learned that he was genuine, which considering they were on a bus for hours on end, helped me trust his intentions with Cam.If you know me well then you know that I never read a summary before starting a book. At some point I do read it, but not immediately before starting. I had no idea what would happen. I knew that the story was too perfect, but I never expected the bomb that dropped. When it did, the waterworks began.Overall, The Edge of Never warmed my heart, broke it, and put it back together. I became attached to both Cam and Andrew. Their story is one that should be read by all. If you are looking for something spicier than contemporary YA novels, look nor further!
