Goodreads Summary

Eight years have passed since Colin and Caroline “Charlie” ended their college romance. A chance meeting reunited them confirming that time had not diminished their love for each other. Now, they have to turn their passionate reunion into a legitimate and sustainable relationship. Charlie’s medical practice is in Houston. Colin is the starting quarterback for Dallas. Distance is not the only obstacle to their happiness. There’s Colin’s (maybe?) ex-girlfriend, entertainment reporter Sasha Stone, who’s granted the first ever tell-all interview about Colin’s personal life. There’s Charlie’s father who is part owner of their medical practice and blames Colin for Charlie’s battle with an eating disorder. What about the demands of the media and Colin’s rabid fans? “From Now Until Infinity” continues the journey of Colin and Charlie that began, ended, and began again in “Falling Into Infinity.”

My Review

This book was definitely better than the first one. Firstly, it felt a lot more cohesive. The first book in the series felt almost like two separate books, while this one felt more like one book (although, it feels very similar to the second half of the first book).

Charlie and Colin are giving their relationship a second chance. They’re living together and dealing with the press, their families, and their careers, all while trying to have a successful relationship. Charlie’s having a hard time adjusting to life in the spotlight and at times struggles with her eating disorder. Colin is struggling to be less manipulative towards Charlie (because we all know that that man can manipulate her like no other) and allow her her freedom.

The struggles in this book were mainly extensions of those introduced in the first book. There weren’t many new elements added, with the exception of the elaboration on Charlie’s relationship with her dad (which was only briefly mentioned in the previous book).

In terms of the writing, it was much better in this book. That being said, it still needs work and could use a better editor.

Overall

I enjoyed this book. It definitely isn’t a favorite of mine, but the series is going in the right direction and I’m definitely going to continue with it.
