I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely geared for mature young adult. Myracle doesn't shy away from talking about sex (some times graphic), and I think it's great that she doesn't shy away from that. The relationship between Wren and Charlie feels realistic and includes all of the uncomfortable first time situations that often get glossed over.

Sadly this was a case of, “It’s not you, it’s me.”

I wanted to like it but lately contemporary young adult books just don’t do it for me.

While I didn't completely love "The Infinite Moment of Us," I enjoyed this read very much and appreciate what Lauren Myracle did with the story of Wren and Charlie. When these two characters – Wren, the consummate good girl, and Charlie, who has been in the foster system all his life – find themselves volunteering in Guatemala after their senior year of high school, where they admired each other from afar, they quickly fall into a vibrant, intense, extremely physical relationship.

Though this might be written off as insta-love, to me this seemed more like the breathless kind of falling in love that you can experience as a teenager or young adult – it isn't necessarily the norm, but it can happen, and is definitely the type of all-consuming love that many teenagers romanticize. What I enjoyed most about Myracle's handling of this scenario is that she didn't shy away from the cringey or ugly parts: the awkwardness, the obsession, the impulsiveness, the jealousy, the bad decisions, the frustrations, the second-guessing. I always appreciate writers who don't shy away from the messiness of relationships and the pain of growing up, and we definitely have that in "The Infinite Moment of Us."

Ultimately, I think this is a book that older teens would very much enjoy!

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. I am sorry I did not get to read it before the archive date. I actually requested the wrong title, thinking this one was Shine by the same author.

I’m not sure where to start my review of this book. There were things about it that I loved, and things about it that I really didn’t. First of all, this is a young adult book, but I would definitely say it leans on the more mature side of young adult. There is a lot of talk about sex, and some graphic descriptions of this for it be considered a young adult book.

I actually really liked the plot of this book. I thought it was sweet and cute. However, the darker twist toward the end felt a little unnecessary. I get that the author was trying to add another conflict, but I felt like it could have been done differently. The actually ending of the book was cute, but predictable. I almost wish it had one more chapter though. It seemed to end a little early for me.

3.5 stars
I received this book for free in return for an honest review.

This is a YA novel which actually has some more adult content throughout. I would not recommend this to a younger reader. The descriptions of teenage intimacy are rather forward.

I loved this book. I have put the book on our library staff picks shelf many many times. I have actually gone back and re-read it, which I rarely do.

While I thought the storyline was cute, I struggle with the focus on “sex” and don’t feel comfortable sharing this with the freshman that I work with. I can see some of our older readers enjoying this one.

Thank you for the opportunity to read The Infinite Moment of us, unfortunately I didn't end up enjoying this book as much as I'd hoped.

I started reading this book and it didn't catch my attention for a bit but sadly I ended up DNF this book. Sorry for the late review.

I didn't get a chance to read this before it expired on my nook. I'm sorry! I do hope to one day buy and read this!

I liked this book and hated this book at the same time. While the romance felt right and the two kids from different backgrounds, though extremely insecure come together in a beautiful way, it still felt almost like a "how to" book for teenage sex. There was just too much detail in that regard for my taste.

With all the sex on the page, this is a high school read only.
