The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo

1.0

 "We see everything through the filter of our own desires and regrets, hopes and fears."

Let me start off by saying I just can't stress enough how the foundation of Lucy and Gabe's "relationship" wasn't strong at all. It was merely infatuation and lust. Some may disagree of how I perceive it, but that's how I feel. The years of longing, their names lingering in the back of each other's minds, or only Lucy (I doubt Gabe thought of her as often as she did his). Lucy knew the consequences of her own actions and was well-aware of what was right, yet still, she managed to disappoint me just the same. How lovely! Apart from the writing, this book angers me and I just want Darren to step out of that marriage and be happier somewhere else.
