Infinite in Between is a coming of age novel that takes place over the course of 4 years. Even though it is a 4 year book, it doesn't drag on. It almost goes too fast. It only tells you the important parts of the story. I really enjoyed that about the story. The author knew that it would be too boring to not only tell the key parts of the story. It was really enjoyable.

I loved this book. It's full of interesting diverse characters. I already wrote about how strong a connection I felt towards Mia. This book had some minor flaws but overall it was amazing.

started reading Carolyn Macklers books when The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things came out when I was 13 or so. Ten years later I still love her books, the fact that this one was released on my birthday just made it even better.
The characters as usual are very real, real life situations without over the top drama. I liked how the stories intertwined but not as much as in Tangled. It was interesting to see these five teenagers go through high school and recognizing some of the situations.
I cant say anything bad about it but I am probably biased since its my favorite author.

I discovered Carolyn Mackler in high school and I always get excited for her new books. This one focuses on 5 teens who are in the same freshman orientation group at high school. Throughout the next four years they suffer losses, fall in love, and make decisions about their future, some related to each other and some not.
It was really fun to read, but Mackler moved so quickly between characters and often cuts the reader off right when something exciting happens. You find out later what happens from another character's perspective, but it's pretty anticlimactic. That made it feel more like outlines of stories rather than the stories themselves. But I genuinely liked all 5 main characters, and enjoyed reading about their lives. Would recommend.

I feel like this book would appeal to people who like both YA lit and Edward Rutherford; I think I might be the only person at the center of that venn diagram lol

Great book about randomness of HS plus the importance of kindness and making wise decisions for the long term even though it's hard to see what that is in high school. Also loved the first person look at 5 different teens as clearly everyone's inner problems no one can guess from what appears to be beautiful or happy exteriors.

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I really loved this book! I read this in 4 hours and I wish I savered it! but over all it was a fun contemporary and I need this to help me end off the year. I didn't know that I was craving for this genre. but when I went to go to the library I just saw and I gave it a chance. over all I loved it! highly recommend it! my second favorite contemporary I read all year! (My first is Fangirl)

To be honest I was going to give it two stars because when I initially read this book I thought it was going to be them becoming friends over time and I mean they did but at the very end! I'm not even sure if it was that that I didn't like I think it was how the points of view were so brief and so random. I got confused quite a bit or got focused on a character and forgot other ones. The ending was really sweet and I liked it and it made it worth reading but I probably wouldn't recommend this book to anyone and if I did they'd be like a freshman or sophomore in high school
