Publisher Description
Love is timeless…
Nash Nation loves zeroes and ones, over-sized monitors, and late office hours. He's too busy taking over the world to make time for relationships—that is, until his new neighbor Willow O'Bryant barges into his life, and now Nash can't shake the feeling that this isn't the first time she's interrupted his world.
Then, the dreams start. And in the dreams—memories.
Memories of a girl named Sookie who couldn't count on love or friendship, never mind forever. Memories of a library and a boy called Isaac and secrets made in private that destroyed his world.
The memories seem real, but who do they belong to?
When Nash and Willow discover the truth, life as they know it unravels.
The bridge between this life and the next is shored up by blood and bone and memory. Sometimes, that bridge leads to the place we've always wanted to be.
If you like Marina Zapta, Amy Harmon, Tarryn Fisher, and Mia Sheridan, you'll love this beautiful tale of love beyond time!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Butler (Fall) beautifully weaves three interracial romances into a single satisfying work. Brooklyn programmer Nash Nation is focused on getting his company started to the detriment of everything else, including sleep. When his attractive neighbor Willow helps him finally get some rest, he dreams of Prohibition-era New Orleans, seeing through the eyes of black delivery girl Sookie as she falls in love with her rich white neighbor, Dempsey. Willow, meanwhile, dreams of 1967 Washington, D.C., where university tutor Riley is falling for her student Isaac despite her abusive ex-boyfriend and the tensions of the civil rights movement. As Nash and Willow's relationship becomes more passionate, they realize that the dreams they share are actually memories, pointing their way to a happy ending. Butler's lush descriptions evoke the love and terror the past couples feel as they face violence that threatens their relationships and lives. The complex structure crystallizes into an impressive resolution that ties up loose threads hidden in the very first pages. This splendid story is destined for many a keeper shelf. (BookLife)
Customer Reviews
Fascinating!!! 😍
This was such a fascinating story. And very emotional (so make sure you have plenty of tissues available). There was so much depth, on so many different levels. This had a few different stories that were still in a way the same, and characters that were fascinating and different, yet alike. This was such a different kind of read, you’ll get completely engrossed in what’s going to happen next. You'll completely love it
An enjoyable read
Infinite Us is a fascinating story that beautifully depicts a love that transcends all time. Neighbors Nash and Willow are both seemingly different people and yet there is something between them, a sort of connection that tethers them together. Nash is a workaholic, numbers guy who suffers from insomnia while Willow is more of a free spirited girl with a bit of a hippie edge. After their first few encounters, they each experience dreams that depict relationships of times past. Or are these dreams?
Infinite Us reveals three interracial romances that span over different time periods, which I found to be very interesting and were very well thought out by the author. In the beginning, I did struggle to get into this book as I had trouble connecting with Willow whereas I was able to easily relate to Nash. Still, the more I read, the more I found myself immersed in the book. The premise of this romance is unique and the author is brilliant with its execution. This is very different from her previous works and while it isn’t my favorite novel by her, I did enjoy this book. If you are looking for an original love story and keep an open mind, then you enjoy Infinite Us. I read a complimentary version of this book.
