Series: Stand Alone
Genre: New Adult Contemporary
  Release: Nov. 15, 2012

Synopsis:
 Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew by the time she was sixteen that she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. She wanted to see the world and fall in love and not be grounded to the predictable. Well, she did fall in love and had plans to check the other things off The List with Ian, but after she gave up her virginity to him, he died in a tragic car accident and Camryn was never the same. Shortly after, her parents divorced, her older brother went to prison, her new boyfriend cheated on her and she had had enough.

Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward with her life, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job rather than living off her family’s money. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown 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. But 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. She promised herself that she would never even get close to another friend, especially after her best friend's betrayal. 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?

Due to sexual content and language, this book is recommended for 17+ – Adult Contemporary Women’s – New Adult Fiction

My Thoughts and Review:

I fell in love with Jessica's writing after reading her first book in her YA series, Mayfair Moon which is why I jumped at the chance to be a part of the blog tour for her new book. Not only is The Edge of Never a contemporary but it is also in the New Adult genre which I am quickly learning is becoming a new favorite of mine.

I had no idea this was going to be told in the alternating point of views of both Cam and Andrew, it was a very nice surprise and something that was brilliant on Jessica's part. It was crucial that we got both POVs because otherwise one character or the other would have fallen flat. Instead it breathed life into them and gave us that deep look into their thoughts that I so love in a great story. I felt completely connected to both characters, something that doesn't happen often even in dual POVs for me. Jessica did this one beautifully.

I have to admit that at first while I wouldn't say this story dragged for me, I was a little curious why everyone was raving so much about this one. I mean it was good of course because we are talking about Jessica here and she doesn't write anything badly but still, I wasn't totally in love with the story yet and then, well then about 40% in, BAM! Everything started clicking into place and the story really started to unfold and before I knew it I was completely and utterly hooked on Cam and Andrew's story. Completely in love with them both and rooting for them the whole way and totally getting why everyone has been raving about it because this story is just..wow!

I feel the need to warn you though, this story is hot. As in burn you hot. There is language and heat and passion and yeah, be prepared, this one will blow you away and set you on fire with some of the scenes. I may even have blushed during some of them.

While I love Cam, I adore Andrew. He is just amazing in everything he does and says.

I was pretty darn sure I was going to like this one going into it but I had absolutely no idea how much I was going to love it. I laughed (numerous times), I smiled, I frowned, I got mad and I even cried...oh did I cry.

This was one roller coaster of emotions and I loved every minuted of it.

The ending...simply put, was perfect.

Jessica once again proved to be just how amazing as a writer she is. She meet my expectations in this one and them blew them out of the water. If I could give this one more than 5 Stars I would because it deserves it. Cam, Natalie, Andrew and the other Parrish boys, all amazingly well done and real. I couldn't of asked for a better cast of characters.

This will be on my to read list for sure. I can't stop thinking about any of them and I want to take this journey with them all over again.

5 Stars!!
