Welcome back to Serene Reads & Dramatic Escapes by Moushmi!
Today, I’m sharing my thoughts on The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo—a novel that beautifully explores love, life-changing choices, and how we navigate the crossroads between personal dreams and relationships.
Review:
I finished The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo back in late August.
The Light We Lost traces the emotional journey of Lucy and Gabe, two people whose love begins in a moment of tragedy and evolves through significant life events. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that highlights how our decisions shape who we become and the relationships we hold dear. Santopolo’s writing is captivating, pulling you deep into their world of passion and heartbreak.
While I appreciated the depth of the emotional themes, I found that the repetitive nature of certain events and the shifting timelines disrupted my connection with the characters. So, even though it wasn’t without its flaws (hello, repetitive moments), The Light We Lost really stuck with me. If you enjoy stories that delve into love’s complexity and life-changing decisions, this one’s definitely worth a read! But, even with these hiccups, the book is undeniably thought-provoking, giving us a raw look at how love and choices leave an indelible mark on our lives.
A Memorable Quote:
"Sometimes, the things we want most are the things that are the hardest to let go."
This quote encapsulates the bittersweet nature of the book—love isn’t always easy, and the hardest decisions often come with the deepest consequences.
About the Book:
At its core, The Light We Lost is about how love and life’s big decisions collide. It’s a poignant exploration of the choices that define us, showing the painful and beautiful aspects of falling in love, growing apart, and learning to let go.
About the Author:
Jill Santopolo is known for her emotionally charged storytelling. With The Light We Lost, she brings readers a story that lingers long after the last page, exploring love, loss, and the deep impact of the decisions we make.
