Synopsis:

     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.

Book Beginning:

Andrew:

A few months ago, when I was laid up in that hospital bed, I didn't think I'd be alive today much less be expecting a baby and engaged to an angel with a dirty mouth.

Thoughts:

It's an alright start. I'm mostly reading this book because I am procrastinating finishing Queen of Shadows. I don't want it to end then have to wait an entire year for the next one. That would be torture.

My 56%:

Andrew:

Before the night is over, we end up playing a full ten song gig to a growing crowd as the hours wear on.

Thoughts:

This book is just alright. There are somethings in this story that I find really unrealistic in how they deal with grief and loss. It's honestly a little off putting.
