"The Light We Lost" by Jill Santopolo ($11)
- What it's about: Lucy and Gabe met at Columbia University, but when Gabe's photojournalism career takes him to the Middle East, what follows is a 13-year journey of jealousy, betrayal, and love that proves even being on different continents can't keep them out of each other's hearts.
- What Witherspoon says: "This book is all about different kinds of love, spanning decades and continents as two star-crossed lovers try to return to each other."
