More words of encouragement…
One of the scariest (and best) parts of releasing a book is sending it out into the world… then waiting to see if it comes back with a heartbeat.
The Light Between Us is a story that means a lot to me — a warm, heartfelt tale about connection, missed moments, and the quiet ways our lives can change direction when we least expect it. Writing it was a leap. Releasing it was another. But hearing from readers? That’s the bit that’s landed right in the chest.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been lucky enough to receive some genuinely lovely reviews, messages, and comments — the kind that make you pause mid-kettle-boil and just stand there grinning at your phone. It’s honestly surreal to know the story has found its way into other people’s evenings, commutes, and quiet Sunday mornings.
So I wanted to share a few of those words here.
Not because I’m trying to show off (though I won’t lie, I’m absolutely chuffed)… but because if you’ve been thinking about giving the book a go, these reviews will give you a feel for what it’s like — and what other readers connected with most.
Here are a few lovely words about The Light Between Us:

”Overall, The Light Between Us by Steve McCarthy is a touching second-chance romance unlike any other.”

“In addition to the beautifully imaginative prose, I loved meeting Sean and Linda. They are both fascinating characters, and I enjoyed seeing how everything turned out for them.”
