I love a great love story. I enjoy a story about a deep lasting love that transcends the ages. This book I was able to review has all of the earmarks of showcasing that deep, intrinsic love.
A new to me author takes on the scientific proof that true love is actually an inherent, soulful connection. Read on for my review.

ABOUT:
A brilliant physicist studying the nature of time embarks on a journey to prove that those we love are always connected to us, leading to surprising revelations in this fresh and unique love story.
Sophie Jones is a physics prodigy on track to unlock the secrets of the universe. But when she meets Jake Kristopher during their first week at Yale they instantly feel a deep connection, as if they’ve known each other before. Quickly, they become a couple. Slowly, their love lures Sophie away from school.
When a shocking development forces Sophie into a new reality, she returns to physics to make sense of her world. She grapples with life’s big questions, including how to cope with unexpected change and loss. Inspired by her connection with Jake, Sophie throws herself into her studies, determined to prove that true loves belong together in all realities.
Spanning decades, The Love Proof is an unusual love story about lasting connection, time, and intuition. It explores the course that perfect love can take between imperfect people, and urges us to listen to our hearts rather than our heads.
The Love Proof by Madeleine Henry Review
This story is unique in many ways. It gives us a different view of true love. The love that can consume us and almost take over everything that we know and enjoy. We change – sometimes for the better; sometimes not. But we are happy and consumed with love.
Love is a freeing feeling. It can define who we are and how we act. The author takes on this feeling and applies it to this uniquely driven couple who seemingly live for one another.
I had a love/hate relationship with this book. I loved Jake and Sophie. They truly are perfectly matched and support each other in so many ways. Brilliant but so naive too.
But love can change us and when that happens we have to decide what is best overall. Sophie intends to prove that love is a connection that never fades and that takes years. Years of research and development. Years of unfailing dedication, just looking for that breakthrough.
Is true love completely selfless? For these two it is and while I am not going to give away the ending, what I will say is that I am sad. Sad for what could have been. Sad for no epilogue to tell us what could be.
An imaginative love story that spans the ages, digging deep into the mind and physics of time, the psyche, and proof of true love.
