The Edge of Anything is truly something special.

This own voices YA debut from Nora Shalaway Carpenter is simply but beautifully written. Told in the dual POVs of the very different leads, Sage and Len, this is a story of unlikely friends that traverses some heavier topics, including mental health and grief.

This book shares such open and honest views of what it’s like to be a teenager facing devastating news/events while trying to fight for their futures. It’s really raw and emotional to witness what they’re going through but also uplifting to see how Sage and Len help each other rise up and begin to move forward. The character growth and development of their friendship were absolutely the highlights of this book for me!

Overall, The Edge of Anything is amazing on so many levels, and I highly recommend it! With such a dynamic debut, I’m looking forward to seeing more from Nora Shalaway Carpenter.
