Synopsis

Shay Maloney is living his dream—on tour with his pirate/folk-rock band. But you can’t know where you’re going until you know where you’re from, and that’s where moody filmmaker and researcher Ollie Pietruska comes in.

The band’s management persuades Shay to let a television company film a documentary about his roots beyond his adoptive Irish family, and Ollie comes into his life knowing more about Shay than Shay’s ever known about himself.

But while Ollie holds the key to Shay’s past, he’s also hiding deep scars. Even as the hardships of the tour bring them closer, Ollie’s demons threaten the blossoming romance. They might both reach the breaking point before Ollie realises he’s been standing on the edge of the world for too long, and it’s Shay who holds the key to his future.

A friends-to-lovers, rock star, road-tripping romance, with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Another wonderful book by Garrett Leigh.

The Edge of the World is the kind of story that kind of tears me up and puts me back together again. It’s not really so much a rock star story like I thought it was going to be. It’s more of a slow-burn romance between two guys with each of them having baggage to deal with.

We get hints along the way about what has made Ollie the way he is: afraid to let anyone close to him, doesn’t want to be touched, but it’s pretty far into the story before we learn for sure what happened.

Shay is dealing with Type I Diabetes and he’s pretty good at coping on his own. The rigors of life on the road can make it difficult to manage his sugar levels, though. Fortunately, he has people around him that care about him and can recognize the signs when something isn’t right.

The other running plot line has Ollie helping Shay, who is adopted, to discover his heritage. It’s slow in developing but when we finally learn everything it was a nice surprise for this reader as well as for Shay.

One of my favorite things about the books I’ve read by Garrett Leigh is how “British” they are. I never fail to learn new-to-me words when I read one of her stories and The Edge of the World was no exception. I’m looking forward to enjoying more of her books.
