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 realizes 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.
The Edge of the World
by Garrett Leigh was a nice read, but I had mixed reservations about the
book. A little angsty- where I wasn’t sure angst was needed- and a little
repetitive at times, the storyline flowed and had good characters.
As main characters, Shay and Ollie were solid but with
flaws, relevant to their perspective storylines. As part of a band, Shay walked
the walk of his musical talents and Ollie, journalist on a mission and with his
own secret, walked the walk of a tortured soul. No spoilers, but the hype was
more than this reader thought was needed- yet I just didn’t see it.
Overall, though, Ms. Leigh always writes a
wonderful narrative that regardless kept me captivated and anxiously wanting to
know the outcome. One of my go-to authors, Garrett Leigh will not
disappoint- just TEOTW was not my cup of tea.

Audio Review~ Dan Calley
While TEOTW was not my complete cup of tea, Dan Calley did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life and the story line worked with the voice narration. I believe that for this book in particular, the narration worked better for me than the reading. Mr. Calley delivered the tortured souls reflected in Ms. Leigh's writing while not being over the top.
Great narration!
