#BookReview: When We Were Infinite by @KellyLoyGilbert

Synopsis: From award-winning author Kelly Loy Gilbert comes a powerful, achingly romantic drama about the secrets we keep, from each other and from ourselves, perfect for fans of Permanent Record and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter.

All Beth wants is for her tight-knit circle of friends—Grace Nakamura, Brandon Lin, Sunny Chen, and Jason Tsou—to stay together. With her family splintered and her future a question mark, these friends are all she has—even if she sometimes wonders if she truly fits in with them. Besides, she’s certain she’ll never be able to tell Jason how she really feels about him, so friendship will have to be enough.

Then Beth witnesses a private act of violence in Jason’s home, and the whole group is shaken. Beth and her friends make a pact to do whatever it takes to protect Jason, no matter the sacrifice. But when even their fierce loyalty isn’t enough to stop Jason from making a life-altering choice, Beth must decide how far she’s willing to go for him—and how much of herself she’s willing to give up.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Review: This book was so good. The main character is scared about life changing as she finishes up high school.  I liked how down to earth the story was as well as how real. I think leaving high school when things are planned out for you is very scary.  It's not an easy time to step into your future.  Especially if you are like Beth who survives on self help books and her circle of friends.  She isn't really out going until she witnesses something that there is no going back on.  I loved how she came into her own and became stronger.
