"Finding the Glasses" is a poignant exploration of love's fragile illusions and the perceptual barriers that shatter hope. Emma and Liam's relationship begins with optimism but gradually reveals cracks beneath the surface—each character's internal perception clouded by doubt, disappointment, and disillusionment. As their illusions break apart, their internal lenses become stained, fogged, cracked, and ultimately shattered, symbolizing the loss of clarity and hope. Through vivid symbolism—faded reflections, foggy glasses, broken frames—the novel delves into the emotional landscape of love's impermanence and internal despair. Both characters reach a final, painful realization: love was an illusion, their perceptions distorted beyond repair. In the end, they part ways, their world forever fractured, their internal visions forever shattered. "Finding the Glasses" offers a haunting meditation on the delicate nature of perception and the inevitable loss of innocence when reality intrudes upon dreams, leaving behind only shards of what once was.
