The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle

 I just finished reading Myracle's book which was a big surprise to me. I would recommend this book for older teens in grades 10 to 12 as there are some adult issues that come up throughout the book. It reminded me of Judy Blume's "Forever" if you get my drift, although it is very real and I like the way the author incorporated the teens of today within the story ( i.e the texting, the friendship patterns, and the insecurity that sometimes comes about when socializing via cell phone)
So, here's the review... Charlie and Wren meet in high school and bond over Charlie's broken hand. They immediately fall in love and begin Wren's very first hot and heavy romance. Charlie's friend and ex-girlfriend Starrla is not impressed. Although she does not have the capacity or desire to have a true relationship with Charlie, she still wants him to herself in a very broken way. Wren has made some very different decisions during her senior year that her parents are not happy about. Add this to a whirlwind romance, teenage sex, a boy from a foster family, and a few friends that help them along the way and you've got an amazing teen book! You may not be able to put this book down mid-way. It gets off to a slow basic start and then takes on a life of its own.
