The Last Light Of Home By Sophia Luxe Book Review

Winters were coming, stronger and harder this time. The two twin cities had fallen apart after an apocalypse occurred – a destruction. 

The struggles to survive or maybe love in the moments of despair, that’s what The Last Light of Home teaches. 

The Last Light of Home is a story of tragedies, hope, betrayal and living a life like you won’t get another day to live. 

Spoiler-Free Plot

The world has broken apart—people have died, cities lie abandoned beneath snow—but life has been strangely kind to Georgianna Harris. A nurse practitioner, she survives by trading medicine for necessities, clinging to purpose in a world stripped of mercy.

Everything changed when a contagious disease tore through the Twin Cities, leaving Georgianna among the few willing to care for the infected. Since then, the cities have shown nothing but signs of death, countless lives buried beneath the cold. Living with Ana, Georgianna treats the sick to survive, forced to decide who lives and who dies—choices that have hardened their hearts beyond compassion.

Georgianna often drifts back to memories of the world before its collapse, when she took pride in her work and believed in something better. Her only wish is to see John Dae one last time. She assumes that hope is lost—until fate proves her wrong. John Dae has survived.

When Georgianna finds him again, he is nothing like the man she remembers—broken, changed, and carrying his own scars. Yet his presence reignites a light she thought long extinguished. As their paths intertwine once more, John fears the day he might lose her again, while their love shines through the devastation surrounding them.

Together, Georgianna and John confront their buried truths, finding solace in each other’s presence as they navigate a shattered world—and the pasts they can no longer outrun.

My Take On the Book

The Last Light of Home by Sophia Luxe is a fictional story that blends mystery, love, and tragedy. 

This book isn’t just a science-fictional story; it’s about what happens when everything falls apart, and how people change when survival is all that matters. 

The book really shows how a pandemic messes with people’s minds. It makes you stop trusting others. The life you knew disappears fast. And just trying to stay alive can turn even good people cold inside.

I loved how Georgianna remained a bold character throughout the story. She wasn’t just strong, she was smart. The contagious disease made it hard for her to stay soft and naive for a long time. Throughout the story, she didn’t hope for the best, but she planned for the worst. 

“Even in the dark, there is hope.”

But what makes her different from others isn’t just her toughness; it’s the cracks beneath. The way she remembers being softer, the guilt she buries under practicality, and the quiet moments where she wonders if surviving is even worth what she’s lost. 

Besides, the character development was intriguing. The writer did a great job of writing a post-apocalyptic book, highlighting the facts that the world faces during such a time. 

What makes the book unforgettable is the quiet, burning intensity of Georgianna and John Dae’s love. It’s not loud, but it’s the kind of love that survives in silence. 

The way they showed affection and gratitude is a reminder for readers that love always finds a way to survive.

Sophia’s writing style is straightforward, making it accessible to a wide range of readers. The tone and pace of everything were smooth. 

Trigger Warning:

The book contains intimate scenes between characters.

Age Rating:

This book is highly recommended to all 18+.
