Gia Riley took everything you thought you knew, thought would happen, and expected from this story and put it in a box and ran it over with a semi. Hopes and dreams- gone. Beliefs and expectations- decimated. But what she gives you in return is far more beautiful than everything you thought you wanted. Trust me. You say you wanted it but the actual resolution is far more fulfilling on a personal level than anything else could have been.
Don't get me wrong, I totally have a favorite. I had a perfect fantasy picked out. I plotted the entire book before I even picked it up. I knew exactly what I wanted. But what I want isn't what happened and I actual have a bigger smile and a more profound respect for all parties. Does that mean I won't cry on my pillow- um no. I totally will but this story isn't an end. It's a beginning.

What an emotional roller coaster! Lust, love? Heartbreak, depression... such an amazing read. No words seem sufficient, it consumed me and wrecked me in the best possible way

Every once in a while an author comes out with a book that will make you think, make you wonder and most of all, make you feel. The conclusion of the the Broken Wings duet is just that. In the first book, it ended in a bang, literally. With The Edge of Heaven, we start up right back from where the first ended. It is a ride of angst, emotions and life lessons. Your heart shatters for Winnie as she tries so hard to move forward. She is a scrapper but one can only take so much. Jasper tries to be there for her but she pushes hard against him. Then you have Trey. I kinda wanted to hate him but I couldn’t. With everything that happened, all I wanted was Winnie to have her happy ending.
This is one of those books that will stick with you. I usually do not read much young adult books, but this one takes a life of its own and you honestly cannot put it down. The topics that Riley tackles are really tough ones and the author does it with such grace. This story is about growing up but also about self acceptance as well. To let go of those demons. To love yourself back. Winnie is such a tortured soul but she kisses that edge of heaven to discover that there is more to life than the hand she was dealt in life. I am honestly at a loss of words of how much this duet affected me. It really guts you and leaves an imprint on your heart. This is very much something everyone should read.

This book was all over the place. The two hero’s kept repeating themselves. Winnie’s actions contradicted her words. I think with the back and for the author was trying to creat angst but it was forced and just didn’t work for me.
