"Six dots. Six days. I'd known him for eight, loved him for six. And I wanted to love him for a million more."

This is probably the Amy Harmon book that I've had the slowest reading progress with. I can't say that the story was draggy but it is very detailed that it kind of became slow turning. But I love the book, no doubt.

I particularly did not love Bonnie Rae much. She is kind of selfish and immature in some ways that I don't really appreciate. But I super duper love Finn! I am not a fan of math but I enjoyed Finn's love for the subject.

I was not able to see anything particularly different with the book but I like how I felt during and after reading it. I love Bonnie and Finn together. They're each other's half and are perfect together. I also like how Bonnie was able to stand for herself at the end and how Finn learned to conquer his fears for Bonnie. I am not familiar with the famous "Bonnie & Clyde" but I plan to research more about this because of all the references in this book.

The book is inspiring in so many ways. Definitely a must-read đź‘Ť

50% in and I'm enjoying it but this girl keeps making the stupidest decisions in the world and it's annoying as fuck.

I basically DNF'd this because I had a huge hate-on for the heroine. It's probably unfair to Bonnie that the way the book revealed things she was unaware of made me find her so aggravating. Still it's the way I felt. I couldn't finish it in the traditional way so I just read the ending. Grandma is an asshole. There's a HEA. Yay. Whatever.

It is 4 1/2 stars...I am not being mean, it is just I loved it but there were a few dull moments or maybe I just got frustrated with some of their decisions, everything would have gone different and easier if they had made the right phone calls at the right time BUT we wouldn't have got this great and hopeful story, there is also the religious facts, I am not a believer myself so it was a little bit out of my grasp but I think it must be awesome for someone who believes in God.

I totally fell in love with the writing style, it was so good!, it was so magical....there weren't typos or grammar mistakes, there were beautiful sentences that I read and re read just wishing that they could stay with me.

The story could be defined like a typical love story, in a way it is but at the same time it isn't....I guess the best thing is to get a copy and read it....it reminded me of so many stars that we have seen fell from stardom and wonder where things went wrong for them to take such awful decisions...it brought names to mymind and I still wonder if the author thought of them herlself when writing the story.

Amy Harmon will ALWAYS be one of my favorites. She’s one of the reasons why I started supporting Indie Authors. If you haven’t read any of her books, you’re missing out! And I will admit it now, Infinity + One is so hard to review.  I didn’t love it so hard just like I did at A Different Blue, but, I didn’t hate it either. So, it wasn’t good but it wasn’t also bad...

I really don’t know. Okay, let’s go through the character first. Amy Harmon doesn’t make over used characters, that’s one of the reasons I completely admire he.r So I’m really expecting to like (or even love) Bonnie and Clyde. And I did, only at first though. Bonnie is such a hard character to read. She went from suicidal (she met Finn at a bridge where she wants to jump) to being hyper to being deeply depressed again to I don’t even know what is she feeling anymore. And for her age? There’s a lot of immaturity which doesn’t fit her character at all since she’s this big rockstar (like Hannah Montana. LOL) and she's the breadwinner of her family. Suicidal? I get that. But being immature?

Then there's Clyde… Well, Clyde is.. intense. He’s an ex-convict and a mathematician and at first, he’s really grumpy. He just hates how Bonnie is affecting her. And I honestly don’t have anything to say about Finn anymore because I’m dozing off as I’m writing this review because FINN is so serious and grumpy, I think I can count on my finger his lines in this book. (But I would not do that because I'm too lazy) They’re  skillfully written characters. Harmon gave enough (actually a lot) of background so you will really feel like you know them.

And then their paths crossed and….

NOTHING. I repeat, nothing has happened in  this book but them traveling around the country and staring at each other and guessing what’s on each others mind. I’m halfway throughout the book and I’m like: wait wasn’t there supposed to be a plot somewhere in here?

Oh and the Romance? There’s no sparks. No intense moments. No swooning-off-my-feet incident.  Just... nothing. And I struggled the whole time I'm reading. Every chapter, my brain is asking me to DNF it already but Harmon's strong writing keeps me going. Until the end, I was hoping that something will happen but.. it's just disappointment. I actually think that 3 stars is so generous of me, but it's Amy Harmon. And I adore her, and even though this bored me almost to death.. her writing is nothing but beautiful.

I highly recommend A Different Blue if you wanna know why I love this author so much. Though the writing is brilliant and the characters are well written, the plot fell a little short for me. I guess I loved her previous books so much that I have a very high expectation on this one. I still recommend Infinity+One  for people who love slow paced books and fast building romance (the kind where you'll say "wait they're together already?") but nonetheless, still enjoyable. Oh and when I said, slow paced...

This story, like everything Amy Harmon writes, was good. I liked the connection between Bonnie & Clyde and, well, THE Bonnie and Clyde.
I am so glad that Bonnie finally stood her ground and put her grandmother in her place.

I really enjoy Amy Harmon and she is a beautiful writer! However, this book fell short for me. I loved the Bonnie and Clyde aspect and the story started off strong, but then it got a little far fetched for me. I give it 3.5 stars bc I did like many parts and it was definitely more than just an okay read for me.

"I believe in numbers. The ones you can see and the ones you can't. The real and the imaginary, the rational and the irrational, and every point on lines that go on forever. Numbers have never let me down. They don't waffle. They don't lie. They don't pretend to be what they're not. They're timeless."

In this captivating novel, I found a soulmate within its pages. The unconventional love story between two vastly different individuals unfolds beautifully, creating a narrative that is both crazy and enchanting. The uniqueness of their names adds an extra layer of charm to the story, making it impossible not to love them.

The exploration of life's complexities and the unexpected twists the characters experience contribute to the novel's allure. The author skillfully weaves together a tapestry of emotions, making it a truly engaging read. The contrasting personalities of the protagonists add depth to their relationship, portraying the beauty that can emerge from differences.

The book's depiction of a tumultuous yet extraordinary journey resonates with readers, as it explores the intricacies of love and life. The narrative's charm lies in its ability to balance the craziness of life with the beauty of genuine connection. Overall, this book is a testament to the power of love, reminding us that even in the midst of chaos, something beautiful can emerge.


"I want you too. So we’re even. Infinity plus one does equal two, see? Me and you."

Although my least favorite of all the Amy Harmon books I've read, it's still one of my favorites out of all the books I've read. Amy Harmon truly is gifted, and I would read any of her books without knowing what they are about.
