The German Team
This is the team who worked on the German edition of The Light We Lost — or as it’s called in Germany, Was Bleibt Sind Wir. Danke schon! (Don’t they look lovely? I hope I get to meet them in person one day.)

So honored that BuzzFeed included The Light We Lost on this list of 31 Books that Portray Love in a Realistic Way. Love the book company it’s keeping.
Sometimes I forget I said things, and then they get quoted somewhere, like in Women and Hollywood and I think, “Yes! I totally agree with that!” Thank you for writing this article and pulling out that quote.
This article from Nine.com.au talks about books that Hollywood celebrities recommend. Reese Witherspoon’s recommendation of The Light We Lost for the Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine is in there. And so is my Putnam Books pal Chloe Benjamin’s book, The Immortalists, recommended by Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss at Belletrist. (I recommend it, too.)
It arrived in NYC!
The wonderful women at Belletrist featured me and The Light We Lost in their brief today! Thank you, Emma & Karah.
(In my brief, I talk about how much I loved Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah and how much I can’t wait to read Meg Wolitzer’s The Female Persuasion)
I’m so, so honored that Reese Witherspoon chose The Light We Lost as her February Book Club Pick for Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine. What a Tuesday morning it was when I saw this video!
February Book Announcement: The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
"Our February pick is all about the different kinds of Love – the kind that engulfs you like a wildfire and the kind that keeps you warm like a hearth fire. This love story between Lucy & Gabe spans decades and continents as two star-crossed lovers try to return to each other. Life, motherhood, and distance get in the way. Will they ever meet again? This book kept me up at night, turning the pages to find out, and the ending did not disappoint." – Reese Witherspoon #rbcxhs #thelightwelost by Jill Santopolo, Author

To celebrate World Read Aloud Day, I read the first page of The Light We Lost out loud. If you click below, you can hear it. (You can also hear me as the narrator on the audiobook.)
Found out that today is #WorldReadAloudDay, so I decided to celebrate by reading the first page of #TheLightWeLost aloud!

I met the translator who translated The Light We Lost into Hebrew on Twitter when she shared this cover. So cool to see it. (And to electronically meet her!)
Thank you to Book Bub for including The Light We Lost in their list of the most heartbreaking books of 2017.
The Estonian edition of The Light We Lost arrived, and I think that kiss is looking pretty sexy…
What a lovely present — a beautiful pile of The Light We Lost UK paperbacks from HQ Stories!
