The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo

The Light We Lost (published in 2017) is an emotionally devastating, New York Times bestselling contemporary romance and commercial fiction novel by Jill Santopolo. Selected as a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, it explores the themes of first love, fate, choices, and the different kinds of love that shape a lifetime.

The story is written in a unique format—a poignant, intimate letter from the protagonist to her first love, looking back over a span of thirteen years.

The novel follows Lucy and Gabe, who meet as seniors at Columbia University on September 11, 2001. Sheltering together in New York City during the tragedy, the world-shifting event instills in both of them a fierce desire to make their lives meaningful. They fall into a deep, all-consuming passion, believing they are destined for each other.

However, their paths diverge when their individual dreams pull them apart:

Gabe becomes a photojournalist and accepts an assignment to document conflicts in the Middle East, chasing a purpose that takes him around the globe.

Lucy decides to stay in New York, building a stable, successful career in children's television programming.
