So, it only took like...forever to finally get through this. I love this couple, I really do. And I was hella excited when we were told there'd be a sequel. In fact, I was one of the many that hounded Jessica to write a sequel after I finished TEoN. Because we HAD to have more Andrew and Cam. I fell in love with Andrew, and I loved him in this book. But really...it should've stopped there. The sequel really wasn't needed and I hate that I have to say that. It saddens me. But sometimes the sequels aren't really keeping my excitement anymore. But I still enjoyed it, just not as much as TEON. That one will always be one of my all-time favorites.
However, the epilogue was pretty good. Didn't see that coming.

The Edge of Never was such a heavily hyped book, and did live up to its reputation. Good drama, moody characters. This is one of the books that is trademark New Adult.

I loved the first book so much I couldn't imagine enjoying the sequel anywhere near the same way, but man, this really gave Never a run for its money. Now, did I enjoy it as much as Never? No. But I can't deny that I still enjoyed reading the continuation of the story. My main sticking point was the characters reacting in unrealistic ways. If motivations aren't there then the story snags and loses the flow and continuity.

This book was ok. The first one was way better. It didn’t bring any emotions like the first one did. I am glad Andrew lived and got married with Camryn. Also they were able to have another child after the first miscarriage. I like how the end tells the reason for the title of the book.

From the moment I read the synopsis, I already knewwhat “tragedy” would befall them. I wanted to be wrong, but I knew there was noother way there could be a sequel. So, I went into the book scared to death,hoping I was wrong and hoping that Andrew Parrish would be there to catch Camryn(and me) when she fell.“But I’m here, Camryn. I’ll always be here.I don’t care what you do or what happens between us. I’ll never leave you. I’llalways be with you. Remember when I said you were the world to me? You asked meto remind you if you ever forgot. Well, I’m reminding you now.”The Edge ofAlways was a new form of torture for me. It picks up right where The Edge of Never left off. I didn’tknow what to expect after the tragedy besides another road trip. What didhappen was heart-breaking. I forgot how emotional J.A. Redmerski’s writing canget. I was sucked into the pain and heartache that Camryn drowned in. Andrewstruggled to hold himself and Camryn up. There were some choices that Camrynmade that I did not agree with whatsoever, but seeing as I’ve never had to dealwith all the crap that she’s gone through, who am I to judge? All I could dowas nervously bite my lip and pray that either she snaps out of it or Andrewdrags her out of it. I did not want them to be at odds with each other, and Iespecially didn’t want them hiding the pain from each other, as Camryn is fondof doing. Luckily, Andrew snaps out of it and becomes the Andrew everyoneobsessed about from The Edge of Never. Hetook charge and got them on the road again, physically and psychologically.“You’re the best thing that’s ever happenedto me, and I can look you in the eyes right now and say that as much as ithurts…I can accept anyone else’s death even though whoever it is, it will beunbearably hard. But yours… I could never accept yours. Never.”There were a lot of expectations on this book,seeing as its predecessor, The Edge ofNever, was and still is a fan favorite. This book kept the intenseemotions, but you see different sides of the Camryn and Andrew. You might notlike where their journey takes them, but it is a story of life and love afterall. Life doesn’t go the way you want. Ever. The story was a bit slow, hencethe torture, but I liked how they we saw a bigger chunk of their life in thisbook. We watch them mature and find themselves once again after that tragedydestroys them. I hated how Andrew had to be the strong one for the two of themyet again, but that’s one of the many reasons we love him, isn’t it? I was sojealous of all the travelling they get to do, and gahhh the stuff they dideither made me cringe or swoon. The Edgeof Always is still a classic J.A. Redmerski book charged with emotion andfilled with rediscovery. Some of the things Camryn and Andrew said took mybreath away, and some of the things they realized about life made my hearthurt. They are still very real to me. And they taught me that when life knocksyou down, you get back up…and hit the road.“Becausethis is our life. We met on the road, we grew to know and love each other onthe road. It’s where we were meant to be for however long, and it’s what we’regoing to do until it becomes clear that were were meant to do something else.”
