The emotions that I experienced while reading Infinitely were truly all over the place. At first I thought this would be a story about two soulmates separately by circumstances beyond their control yet find a way back to each other. And that is what I got but what I didn't count on was the additional gut wrenching drama that kept me riveted throughout!This tale of two people, desperately in love with each other but separated by bad decisions is a well written book I didn't want to end. And it won't considering there will be a book two thank goodness.Briar and Benji are meant to be. They always have been but unfortunately Benji's mother followed a life of drugs and desperation and her two boys paid the ultimate price. But neither Briar nor Benji ever gave up hope that they would once be together again after his hasty retreat from their small farming town 3 years earlier.  And when he does return, his troubles follow him and threaten those he holds dear to him.This journey through addiction, detox, reunions, friendship and even the harsh reality of death never swayed me from cutting through the hardness to find the pure love that exists between Briar and her Benji.  It is their love that can and will survive anything and I'm hopeful we can get to that better place in the next book.The secondary characters add the perfect touch to this difficult storyline providing joy, laughter and feisty spirit so definitely needed at times. The backdrop of a sleepy farm town against dire circumstances was the perfect way to convey the main characters constant turmoil between right and wrong. Safe and dangerous. Life and death.I love this author's ability to draw me in from the first few pages and doesn't let me go until way after I've read the acknowledgements.  I look forward to the next chapter and will be waiting impatiently until it's released.A huge 4.5 stars from me!
