Reading Progress
Review
I had been looking forward to listening to The Light We Lost, but unfortunately it was a snoozefest. With the lead character, Lucy continuously bemoaning what could have been, it got a little repetitive and with a lack of character development or depth to the plot, it quickly became tedious. Lucy disappointed me as she never stood up for herself, and came across as a limp noodle. Also, I was on the nose with my How I Met Your Mother comparison and it was equally disappointing. I will say that the author, Jill Santpolo narrated the book, which I find can be hit or miss, but I really enjoyed her tone and was the shining part of the book. Overall, I felt The Light We Lost was a dud but I'm glad I read it, because like the core of Lucy's story I would have always wondered.
