Walk the Edge by Katie McGarry

4.0

I think I expected too much, like someone else said as well. It was good but there was so much angst. I feel like all of the problems in the book were because of the parents which was frustrating because then Razor and Breanna had to attempt and solve everything on their own. Which they were almost able to do...but at the very end her parents FINALLY GOT INVOLVED BUT BLAMED RAZOR!!!!!!!! Like are you kidding me...HE WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THIS ENTIRE TOWN WHO CAME TO HER DEFENSE...YOU ARE MAKING THINGS EVEN WORSE. I went to mom after reading this and was like If something like this ever happens to me and you ignore my pleas for help and then decide THAT MY BOYFRIEND, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, THE ONE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY HELPS ME GET OUT OF THIS MESS IS BAD NEWS AND YOU NEVER LET ME SEE HIM AGAIN... THEN I AM LEAVING YOU AND NEVER LOOKING BACK. END OF STORY. That's why I am giving this book three stars. Clearly it was very good and I am incredibly emotionally invested but I hate how the entire plot revolves around awful parents and secrets and not paying attention until it is too late. Also I don't understand her mother in the end. At all. I do not sympathize with her whatsoever. Do they ever realize how Breanna was dealing with. Blackmail and bullies for MONTHS!?!? And what about that bomb that Bre drops to both her mom and Clara about how much that attempted suicide affected her. They put way too much on their middle child at all times. And what does it say about society (I think mcGarry brings up a great point) about how a motorcycle club is not only welcoming to Breanna but they defend her when she is almost killed, when her own family refuse to listen to her even when she begs and they never trust her boyfriend...the only one who jumps to her defense. Ever.

And I wonder what happens with Breanna and Addison. Once she got a bf it seems like she just dropped her. Is Addison allowed to visit her at school? I like to imagine Razor will bring her to visit Breanna.
