Jill Santopolo’s 5 Favorite Love Stories

Jill Santopolo, author of our February’18 Book Pick, “The Light We Lost”, shares some of her favorite love stories. Story By: Jill Santopolo

Acts of Faith by Erich Segal

Embedded Image

From the author of Love Story, a novel that travels from Brooklyn to Brasilia to an Israeli kibbutz, charting three extraordinary lives and one forbidden love. I read this multiple times between the ages of 14 and 18!

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Embedded Image

Spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story of love, race and expectation set in today’s globalized world. This isn’t a traditional love story, but such a beautiful romance.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Embedded Image

A heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks what happens when making the person you love happy also means breaking your heart? This is a beautiful book! I needed a whole box of tissues when I finished reading it and a second box after that.

Siracusa by Delia Ephron

Embedded Image

The story of two marriages imploding during an Italian vacation, told from different points of view. An anti-love story about love exploding in different ways, so beautifully crafted and wonderfully written.

The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin

Embedded Image

The story of four teenage siblings who learn the date of their death from a fortune teller in New York in 1969. For better or worse, the four Gold children live the rest of their lives in the shadow of that knowledge. Told from each siblings perspective, this story is all about the love between family.
