When Joe Mitchell launches into space, the world is watching. It’s 1968, and the country waits with anticipation and excitement for another successful mission, another celebration as America sets its sights on the Moon. And then comes the knock at the door.
Joe Mitchell’s spacecraft has lost contact. He and his fellow astronauts onboard are feared to be dead. It’s his wife Vivian’s worst nightmare come to life, her grief suddenly taking center stage as the nation waits and mourns. In her quiet moments, Vivian relives their memorable story, unable to accept that this is the end to a love that felt as though it was written in the stars.
As the investigation surrounding Joe’s lost spacecraft intensifies and the mishap is written off as an operator error, Vivian is determined to clear her husband’s name and uncover the mystery of what happened in space. When someone starts sending Vivian messages—messages she believes only Joe could send—she begins to wonder if their love is stronger than space and time, and she’ll do whatever it takes to bring her husband back to her.

This is the book I’ll think about for a while.
I'm thinking about the story as I am writing this. It's a heart-wrenching and remarkable story. I was hooked from the first page, and when I wasn't reading, I was thinking about it. I've read most of Chanel Cleeton's books and even got to meet her at a signing when The Lost Story Of Eva Fuentes was released. I shouldn't be surprised, and yet Chanel had me on the edge of my seat once again. I loved the book that features space, and read a few books based on it; however, this one, I loved that it was about an astronaut's wives, and how it affects them. Every page in this book will have you captivated, craving for more.
An Infinite Love Story was such beautiful love story. I fell in love with Viv and Joe from the moment that they were introduced. I knew those two belonged together from the moment they met; I was just waiting for them to realize it. It’s not hard to see how much Viv loved Joe, but how hard it was to be an astronaut’s wife. I can’t even imagine enduring what she had. I adored Viv. Despite everything that was happening, she stayed strong, and she didn’t give up on her husband. I cried multiple times while reading this book, but I couldn’t pull away and found myself turning the pages.
I liked that it took place during 1960’s Space Race, and what made this story unique is that it was told from POV of astronaut’s wife. The “now” and “then” timelines intervened wonderfully; making the story so much more intriguing to read. I could talk about this book for hours, and even recommended to few of my friends. There’s a reason that Chanel Cleeton is one of my favorites. An Infinite Love Story is a must read.
