I always look forward to a new Chanel Cleeton novel. As a long time reader and lover of historical fiction, her books are always timeless, warm, and charming. I look forward to them every summer. So when I saw An Infinite Love Story come across my LibroFM Audiobook influencer pack in July, I popped it immediately into the car!

An Infinite Love Story Book Review

Is it even summer without a new Chanel Cleeton book? An Infinite Love Story was such a fun departure from Chanel Cleetons usual novels. Her first attempt at speculative fiction was a hit for me!

Set during the space race and told in dual timelines, it starts off feeling like her previous novels. It’s full of historical elements, romance, and a strong female lead. But when she adds in a sci fi element of time travel and worm holes, the entire novel is elevated. It was so fun to imagine and explore these themes and heightened the experience of reading this novel for me. It made it more hopeful, not just heartbreaking.

Space is having a moment in books this year and this is a refreshing addition!
