The Infinities Between Superman and Me
She doesn't feel the water engulfing her in that hushed void, silencing her muted screams, dragging her down. She's drowning, all right. She doesn't see it, but he does.
Amy Emerson is midway through her first college semester, unprepared and overworked. She's abiding her time in class all day and shaking up drinks, bartending all night. Oh, and that insolent bar bouncer, her boss, the one that looks exactly like Superman, yeah she has fallen for him.
Matthew Abernathy knows he's in love with her. But he's also noticed her protruding hip bones, heavy course load, and tendency to avoid food, and to self deprecate. Superman knows something about mental illness and when he looks at her, he sees the war flashing behind her soft oceanic eyes. Sometimes when he's angry, he does 100 pull-ups until his calluses open up and he's bleeding, red lines running down his forearms. But he's more in control now. Disciplined and determined, this unconventional superhero has pledged to help her overcome her demons. But how far will he go for love?
Their heads leaning close in hushed conversation, he cups her face in his huge hands, his thumb wiping under her eyes, and tells her what she needs to hear. The words he whispers in her ear become her voice, and she learns to become her own superhero.

The infinities Between Superman and Me
This sequel of Holding Superman’s Hand is even better than book one, which I already LOVED!
Amy Katherine is an amazing author that the world truly needed. Her unique way of writing is intriguing and keeps you from the beginning until the end.
I desperately waited to find out more about the wonderful love story from Amy and Matt and it did not disappoint.
If you have not read book one, I would highly recommend it, but you do not need it to fall for book two.
The infinities Between Matt and Amy are so well lined out, it feels like they have become my close friends and you just can’t get enough of seeing their love evolve and how they safe each other! They are meant to be and I hope there will be book three about this great, great love story, that touched my heart right away!
An absolute must read!!!!

I really enjoyed this book and thought it was really sweet. This love story about Matt and Amy did not disappoint. It was well written and very easy to get lost in. This is a great book if you are looking to escape reality for awhile.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book changed how I feel about love & relationships. I think I am always going to be searching for book boyfriend stud, Matthew Abernathy. It felt real. Their love felt real and my favorite thing is how he absolutely cherishes her. And she’s beautiful inside and out so they are both worthy, which feels nice to read.
When she’s worried about not being ready for big commitments— “I don’t know what to do with you.” I am worried and suddenly able to articulate it. “I think maybe I might be too young.” He shakes his head against the hay beneath him.
And his response— “Amy, I am gonna raise you. You will be mine. I will teach you so many things. And honey, you will raise me too. I’m older than you, but you will grow me, teach me, and I will listen, and I will obey you. I will be yours. For keeps.” A tear of joyful relief rolls down my cheek, and I lie on him to kiss him
with trembling lips. He understands.”
It’s all so good, not my fav quote but trying not to give away spoilers. Hard to find a quote that’s not telling. Highly recommend!

In this heartfelt coming-of-age tale, the journey of Matthew Abernathy and Amy Emerson unfolds against the vibrant backdrop of Austin, Texas, at the University of Texas. The story is a raw, beautifully written account of love, faith, and the struggles of growing up—one that captures both the tender moments and the hard-won triumphs of real life. That moment on the rope swing and the epic fight on the roof are person favorites, but I LOVED every chapter. With every page, readers are drawn into a narrative that feels both authentic and deeply moving, as these two characters navigate the complexities of young love in a world that challenges and transforms them. A true testament to the power of resilience and romance, this book is an inspiring exploration of what it means to risk everything for a love that changes us forever.

Amy has a lot going on in her life, from working at night to college during the day, and is trying to keep herself afloat but the bouncer Matthew notices her, seeing a lot more than just what is on the surface, and it will be just what the two need.
The characters of Matt and Amy have great chemistry that Katherine writes easily about keeping the reader engaged.
this was a easy read for me, and I had not realised is book two. I look forward to reading book three and plan to go back and read book 1.

I’d been so looking forward to this since the first book, and it didn’t disappoint. The characters draw you in. It’s both carefree and deeply feeling at the same time. A great experience and highly recommend.

This book is an epic tale of true love that will not disappoint! The banter between main characters Matthew Abernathy and Amy Emerson is jovial, humorous, and engaging. In every chapter we experience literary surprises and dialogue, both expected and unpredictable, that draw us closer to the main characters & enrich the storyline further. I LOVE this book and highly recommend this rom com to anyone wanting to read something fun and tender but out-of-bounds to the standard storyline. Based on a TRUE story, this book could not be more lovely! And you will never think of arm bands for young swimmers in the same way again! Five stars—
