The Edge of the World by Garrett Leigh
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.
REVIEW
This book was beautiful. Almost swoon worthy. I fell so connected yo Shay and Ollie. It’s a delicious slowburn with dual POV.
It’s not your typical rockstar romance. I loved how Shay’s family history was revealed through Ollie’s genealogy research. Ollie and Shay work together so well. I love the progress of their relationship. You can see them falling in love.
I was really excited to read this when I first saw the blurb and that fantastic cover. I’m glad it worked out in the end with all the shit that went down. Totally recommend to everyone.
