When We Were Infinite was a hard read. It covered a lot of hard topics. That normally wouldn’t bother me, but since the pacing felt so slow it just seemed like the longest, saddest book. Beth wasn’t the best MC. She was bratty and pessimistic. I was much more interested in her friend’s stories. The ending was hopeful though, and that honestly saved this book for me.
