Reviewing: The Edge of Always

The Edge of Always

by: J.A. Redmerski

What It's About!

Five months ago, Camryn and Andrew, both dealing with personal hardships, met on a Greyhound bus. They fell in love and proved that when two people are meant to be together, fate will find a way to make it happen.

Now, in the highly anticipated sequel to The Edge of Never, Camryn and Andrew are pursuing their love for music and living life to the fullest as they always swore to do. But when tragedy befalls them, their relationship is put to the ultimate test. As Camryn tries to numb her pain, Andrew makes a bold decision: To get their life back on track, they'll set out on another cross-country road trip. Together they find excitement, passion, adventure-and challenges they never could have anticipated.

My Take!

I really liked  the previous book. (The Edge of Never) So I had really high hopes for the sequel. I was very disappointed. Everything changed that I loved in the first read. I saw everything coming. There wasn't a lot of mystery. Like she had to quickly finish their story, so she shoved a little of everything in this book. I don't understand how New Orleans was so important to the both of them in the last read, and then they just decide to never go again? He had important family-like people there. I had  trouble relating. Understanding. This book's mood was just rushed and their story instead of going smoothly felt pushed or forced. I think the ball was dropped this go around. Instead of taking the needed time to describe their adventures, especially overseas. They were just jotted down as a check-in. I personally can't attach to characters that way. Then the whole ending by their daughter's point of view, just put the icing on the cake of disappointment. I have to keep in mind that The Edge of Never and this read are two different books, although both in the same sequel. It's hard for me to refer a book in a series that I didn't like the second one in.
