The Secrets of Love Story BridgeThe Secrets of Love Story Bridge by Phaedra Patrick

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Imagine being told you’ll never feel sunshine on your skin ever again. That’s what life is like without her. And every minute and hour of each day, I feel like it’s my fault she’s no longer here.


-Book by author Phaedra Patrick ✔
-Book has bridges in it✔
-Book has beautiful cover✔
-Book has adorable kid ✔
-Book has goofy romantic characters✔
-Book has HEA ending✔

This book checked all the boxes for me. Phaedra Patrick is very good at creating characters that are three dimensional. Even a prickly person is going to have some redeeming qualities tucked inside. The result is characters that ring true and characters that you can care about. It is a simply told story that has more depth that you might expect. There are humorous moments, but it is not a comic novel. I bought this book because I enjoyed The Library of Lost and Found and The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by the same author. I was not disappointed. It was not a literary read but it did give me all the feels.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
