Fresh Fiction Review

THE LOVE WE FOUND
Jill Santopolo

Reviewed by Evie Harris
Posted April 13, 2025

Romance | Women's Fiction Contemporary

THE LOVE WE FOUND, by Jill Santopolo, is the follow-up to The Light We Lost. I found that THE LOVE WE FOUND can be read as a standalone book. Gabe has been gone for ten years when the story opens and Lucy is still talking to him and she has a great deal to say. A retrospective of Gabe's photojournalist work has been planned and as Lucy goes through his work she finds a slip of paper with an address on it that puts her on a plane to Rome to find an explanation. This is a trip that will change her life.

With flawless writing, the author brings to readers a beautifully told love story with roots in the past and present. Β Even though Lucy had married someone else, had children and then divorced, Gabe's essence has been ever-present. There hasn't been anyone who has inspired and touched her as he had. Β This changes when she meets Dr. Dax Armstrong. Β Finding she might have a chance at love again, Lucy and her ex-husband must first agree on a decision they must be unanimous on. Β And, it is a big one.


Powerfully conveyed, this story is sensitive, moving and memorable. Β Highly recommended.

SUMMARY

The long-awaited follow-up to the Reese’s Book Club pick and New York Times bestselling global phenomenon The Light We Lost: a thrilling love story about the roles fate and choice play in shaping a life.

It’s been ten years. In case you’re out there somewhere. In case you’re listening, I’m here. And I have so much to tell you.

It’s been nearly ten years since Gabe’s been gone when Lucy finds a tiny piece of paper in a box of his old photos. An address in Rome. Why did Gabe keep it, and what was he doing in Italy? Lucy buys a last-minute plane ticket. Impulsive, but Gabe always brought that out in her.

Lucy’s journey to uncover Gabe’s secret leads her to Dr. Dax Armstrong, a New Yorker in Italy working with an NGO. His broad shoulders and sad, intense eyes draw Lucy in. His touch reaches her in a forgotten place—one that no one has neared since Gabe.

But her old life awaits, along with an earth-shattering decision—whether she and Darren should tell their son Samuel the truth about his father. How can Lucy move forward while she’s rooted in the past? Fate broke her heart once. Can finding new love set her free?
