I LOVED The Edge of Never!! It was so good I couldn't put it down. I anxiously awaited the release of The Edge of Always. I had ordered it before it's actual release so it automatically downloaded that day. I started reading it immediately. Right away I was felling like I didn't like it. The writing style is different. The characters felt 'off'. It was like they were entirely different people in this book. After about 70 pages I quit. I just couldn't get into it at all. I was so disappointed.

I finally picked it back up to read thinking maybe I just wasn't in the right place to appreciate what the author was trying to do with this book. I didn't quit this time although it was VERY hard not to. This book just isn't good. I'm not even going to waste time on the details. The entire book leaves you thinking it's going to end soon. The next page something bad is going to happen. But, it keeps going! If you have read Book One and loved it than I would advise you to not even pick this book up. Sorry R.A. but this just isn't a winner.

Dopo aver letto il primo libro mi sono detta che nonostante la storia mi avesse emozionato tantissimo ed avesse catturato interamente la mia attenzione, c'era qualcosa che stonava, che mi sembrava fuori fuoco, ma non riuscivo a scoprire quale fosse.
Mi sono interrogata su tutta la storia , passo passo , capitolo dopo capitolo, ma solo dopo aver letto il secondo libro ho capito cosa c'è che non quadra.
Per prima cosa è il modo in cui l'autrice ha inquadrato la protagonista, Camryn, forse volendola fare passare come una donna adulta, matura e consapevole, è riuscita solo a farcela percepire come una ragazzina spaurita, immatura, inconsapevole e terribilmente sciocca.
Per seconda è il ruolo di Natalie all'interno di tutta la trama. Anche adesso che ho terminato di leggere i due libri e ci ho ragionato su, non sono riuscita a capire perché è nel romanzo e perché viene descritta come la migliore amica di Cam, anche se non ho letto mai niente che me la facesse figurare come tale, o è forse perché sono io che ho una idea ben precisa su come debba comportarsi una BF.
Per quanto riguarda il resto dei personaggi, le loro vite sono abbastanza chiare così come il loro posto nella storia.
Andrew , poi, è quello che mi è piaciuto di più e che, nonostante venga ritenuto un soggetto sbandato, è in realtà quello che ha più sale in zucca , più responsabile, più maturo, più equilibrato sin dall'inizio ed è l'uomo che ogni donna sognerebbe al suo fianco, amorevole, devoto, comprensivo, deciso, sollecito, innamorato pazzamente.
Il primo libro è molto più avvincente ed emozionante del secondo, ma tutto sommato complessivamente è una lettura piacevole.

Andrew e Camryn si incontrano durante un lungo viaggio in autobus, che entrambi hanno intrapreso da soli. Lui sta cercando di prendere tempo, perché una volta giunto a destinazione dovrà fare i conti con una dura realtà. Lei ha bisogno di fuggire dalla monotonia e da una vita infelice, dopo aver affrontato alcuni eventi dolorosi. Fin da subito, capiscono di essere fatti l’una per l’altro. Sono incapaci di separarsi anche dopo essere scesi dall’autobus, così decidono di intraprendere un altro viaggio insieme, stavolta in auto. Durante il tragitto, condividono tutto: divertimento, dolore, paura. Ma Andrew custodisce un segreto che non è pronto a rivelare a Camryn e che potrebbe stravolgere le loro vite…
Ci sono storie che cambiano il tuo modo di osservare la realtà. La storia di Andrew e Camryn è una di quelle. Il messaggio principale che questi due romanzi trasmettono è: bisogna sempre lottare fino in fondo per i propri sogni, inseguire la felicità, vivere ogni giorno come fosse l’ultimo e non lasciarsi sopraffare dalla paura del cambiamento, anche se questo comporta qualche sacrificio.

Torn

I’m completely torn with this review as I loved the first book. Cam and Andrew had a brilliant story meeting on the bus and then their road trip but I think that’s where it should have finished. The second book was boring, predictable and I had to force myself to finish it. I would def recommend the first book to everyone but sadly the second doesn’t do it for me.

[Alice Cattaneo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Il primo libro mi è piaciuto da morire. Una storia che fa sognare, che fa commuovere, che fa piangere.
Appena finito mi sono sentita svuotata, l'ho amato fin dalla prima pagina.
La seconda parte in realtà è stata come obbligata ma non ha lasciato in me le sensazioni bellissime del primo. Ma in generale mi sento di consigliare a tutti questa storia che, in qualche modo, fa breccia nel cuore.

I didn't knew about this author, and thank to a friend, I could read the two books long ago, and absolutely loved them.
Excellent writing, wonderful love story.
Definitely looking for more of J.A. Redmerski.

I absolutely loved this series....I fell in love with Andrew! This series was definitely added to my favorite list. I loved how the author ended the series so many years later, after Lily was grown.

I really enjoyed the 1st book a lot! The 2nd book was good, but I found myself getting bored & it took me a lot longer to finish it. But overall, I liked them both.

The Edge of Never - ☆☆☆☆
The Edge of Always - ☆☆☆

[Jennifer Legg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not your typical romance. Much more of a realistic tone that tugged at my heart. Though this IS a HEA ending, it takes some time & work to get there...and it's worth going along for the ride.

[Samira Goni · Rating 4 out of 5]

Couldn't put this down. It was superb! Took me a while to read because of my siblings coming over.. But I got attached to the amazing character
