My Review: 4 stars
The Love Proof was a quiet, romantic and scientific novel about love and the undying power it holds. This book aims to prove that a true love connection, with a true friend, a beloved family member or significant other is everlasting in life or death.
Sophie, a young physics prodigy, lives her life for learning and seeking knowledge. When she meets Jake, another freshman at college, an electric and undeniable connection is forged.
Both have big dreams and support each other until Sophie begins to prioritize love over her own education and desires. Seems simple, right? Well, it’s not. Sophie’s original mission, the ability to see time, morphs into something called the Block Theory that proves some incredibly interesting ideas about everlasting connections, in life and in death. Trust me, the author explains all of this with clarity and ease, which helps the reader get these theories. I found myself Googling and wanting to know more.
Though the love proof is a huge part of the book, many other themes were explored such as mother/daughter relationships, choosing your own family, trust and mentorship. I’m looking forward to what’s next from this young author.
Quotes I liked:
Everything Sophie read was delicious, electric mental sugar, feeding a high. She felt as if she were learning a new language: the wordless way that the world communicated. All she had to do was pay attention.”
“The way you see time is to fall in love.”
