I actually picked up this book after reading a few rave reviews, hoping to find something different. This NA (New Adult) novel was different in some ways, and some not. 
 This story is about Camryn Bennet and Andrew Parrish, the journey of two like-minded, out-of-the-box thinkers. Camryn never believed in the mundane life, and mundane things never interested her. She always wanted to do something different, and wanted to go against the flow. She had recently lost her boyfriend, Ian,had a huge fight with her best friend,Natalie, and her brother Cole,was in prison. Thus, life had even less meaning for her until she decided to give it all up, pack her bags and take a bus journey to nowhere. And there she meets our hero,Andrew. Andrew is the live-in-the moment kind of guy, who never cares about what will happen tomorrow. He too, has some unresolved issues in life, and so, together,they decide to take a road trip to self-discovery. 
 I simply loved the initial banter between Camryn and Andrew. I also liked the fact that this novel did not have the concept of 'insta-love'.The progression of friendship towards love was gradual and natural. He brings out a side in her personality she never knew she had. He ignites hope in her,and makes her feel alive. But in some parts, I felt the book was slow. It felt like it had lost its' earlier pace.(eg. The road trip never seemed to end! )Also, I could not emotionally connect to some portions, and their spur-of-the moment,unplanned decisions seemed unrealistic. 
 Just when the story was about to get very repetitive,the author introduced a little twist. However, the novel ends on a happy note, with almost no cliffhanger. 
 It was good in some parts, but not a 4 starrer novel for me. 
 Let's see what happens next in 'The Edge of Always'!
