The Infinite Moment of Us

For as long as she can remember, Wren Gray’s goal has been to please her parents. But as high school graduation nears, so does an uncomfortable realization: Pleasing her parents once overlapped with pleasing herself, but now... not so much. Wren needs to honor her own desires, but how can she if she doesn’t even know what they are?

Charlie Parker, on the other hand, is painfully aware of his heart’s desire. A gentle boy with a troubled past, Charlie has loved Wren since the day he first saw her. But a girl like Wren would never fall for a guy like Charlie—at least not the sort of guy Charlie believes himself to be.

And yet certain things are written in the stars. And in the summer after high school, Wren and Charlie’s souls will collide. But souls are complicated, as are the bodies that house them...

Sexy, romantic, and oh-so-true to life, this is an unforgettable look at first love from one of young adult fiction’s greatest writers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What an excellent book. The Infinite Moment of Us is about a girl who wants to be free and a guy who wants to be loved. It's so romantic. I thought that it would end differently. Lauren Myracle did a great job on addressing what some teens have to go through. Some children have to be adopted because their parents either doesn't have the money to care for them or just doesn't want the child. Some parents make all the decisions for their children. They dictate every aspect of their children's lives to go along with their plan.
This is definitely a YA book. This book shows how easy it is to ruin a relationship and how hard you have to work at it or how easy it is to fall in love. This book is best described as a novel worth reading because it will leave an infinite impression on you.

Nantucket Blue (Nantucket Blue #1)

For Cricket Thompson, a summer like this one will change everything. A summer spent on Nantucket with her best friend, Jules Clayton, and the indomitable Clayton family. A summer when she’ll make the almost unattainable Jay Logan hers. A summer to surpass all dreams.

Some of this turns out to be true. Some of it doesn’t.

When Jules and her family suffer a devastating tragedy that forces the girls apart, Jules becomes a stranger whom Cricket wonders whether she ever really knew. And instead of lying on the beach working on her caramel-colored tan, Cricket is making beds and cleaning bathrooms to support herself in paradise for the summer.

But it’s the things Cricket hadn’t counted on--most of all, falling hard for someone who should be completely off-limits--that turn her dreams into an exhilarating, bittersweet reality.

A beautiful future is within her grasp, and Cricket must find the grace to embrace it. If she does, her life could be the perfect shade of Nantucket blue.

I thought this book would have been better if there wasn't so much drama (no offense to those who like dramatic books). The cover is great, but when I started to read it, I kinda just zoned out and read like I wasn't there. The ending was great!! But there was a whole lot of drama. It is a book worth reading, but personally, not one of my favorites. I would recommend it to anyone who likes the drama of the summer before their senior year. The romance, betrayal, humor is what makes Nantucket Blue what it is.
