“I believe in Bonnie and Clyde.” — "Choices made out of desperation are almost always bad choices."
Amy is a master storyteller and it’s been so fun rereading her books. Amy illustrates this beautifully layered story of two lost souls, prisoner to their own individual circumstances, caged in very different ways, yet brought together by what can only be described as fate… a moment between a past that isn't what they want & a future that they're trying to figure out. I adored the Bonnie & Clyde dynamic in this book! Our main characters were just as wild, crazy, thought provoking - and in some ways - as tragic as the real life Bonnie and Clyde. Having the real life historical facts woven into the fiction made for a fascinating story. It’s a complex story of love, adventure & self discovery. Woven through this story are dramatic parallels to the infamous doomed Depression-era outlaws, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. The story is further layered with metaphors of Finn's love of numbers & Bonnie's love of music. Amy Harmon's depth of knowledge of mathematics, of a historically infamous couple, of faith in a higher power, of the law, of the human condition are woven together so perfectly within these pages & it’s simply awe inspiring. I don’t want to say too much just do yourself a favor & read it!
“It’s not infinity after all. It’s not even two. It’s one, Bonnie Rae. Didn’t you tell me? You and me? We’re two halves of a whole. We’re one,”

I love Amy Harmon, but I was disappointed with this one. I couldn't really get into it. There were some good parts to it, but overall I don't think I'll be picking this one up again. However, I'll still read every book of hers that I can because Harmon has talent

Again, another remarkable love story by Amy Harmon.
I was nervous about reading a Bonnie and Clyde story--thinking it would end badly, thankfully it did not. The characters in her books are always so poignant, so real, so easy to love and these were no exception. They were troubled, miserable souls that completed each other and made each other whole again. I loved all the twists and turns, all the trouble they came upon and especially the good they did. She masterfully took them on an incredible adventure that I wished I could have been a part of. I love her books and can't wait for the next one!

Stopped reading it but couldn't pick it back up later - original concept but unoriginal characters, it was a little too bland for me.

A little overly dramatic and cheesy at times, but still an engaging novel with compelling characters.

I just added a new author to my favorite authors list. Amy Harmon WHY didn't I read anything by you before?, this is my second -in a row- read for her and I wasn't disappointed whatsoever.
I too believe in "Music and Numbers", so I was kinda related or there was some kind of understanding in this novel. I love numbers and music, and sometimes I think they can get you through a lot, and that what they did for both Finn and Bonnie Rae. They both were going through a lot, but together with a little help from Music and Numbers they made it to their happy beginning.
Loved this book too :')
