Weekend Review - August 14, 2017

The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
4.5 stars





My rating for this book is mostly based on the fact that I could NOT put this it down.  I read it in two sittings and then thought about it a lot for hours after.  Lucy and Gabe meet on September11, 2001 in college in New York City.  They eventually fall deeply in love and are together until Gabe decides to move to the Middle East to become a photojournalist.  This book is Lucy talking directly to Gabe, telling the story of their life, her life without him and their sporadic correspondence through it all.  I found so much to relate to in this book.  I am approximately the same age as these characters and just felt so much for these characters and their story.  It's not a perfect book but is incredibly, compellingly readable.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
