The Other Bridget
Rachael Johns
Reviewed by Helen
Rachel Johns this is a brilliant story, you took me through every emotion there is, I laughed, I cried, I yelled as I got to know Bridget Jones, yes the other Bridget she is named after the one and only by her mother who is a big reader and this has passed onto Bridget who is known as Bee and is a hopeless romantic and is a librarian with the best work mates, come along and meet Bree and her friends at Fremantle Library.
Bridget grew up on a remote cattle station but is loving her life in Fremantle and her job, she has a superpower of being able to match a person to a book and she feels everyone should read (I can’t agree more) but Bridget has dreams of marriage and children but has yet to find the love of her life, she has been let down so many times in the past but are things just about to change when the gorgeous Italian barista Fabio asks her out? He even joins the book club to be closer to her, but then her new neighbour cranky, grumpy Sully seems to be doing everything to get under her skin and annoy her, why though?
This book is beautifully written with lots of references to books that I have read and loved, but the characters in this story win hands down, they are all the best not only Bee, but Fred, Xavier, Persephone Janine and all of the Bookstars I could barely put this one down I loved it so much, will Bridget find her HEA?
I highly recommend this one I loved it from start to finish, this one is uplifting and left me smiling and it is a must read, I didn’t want it to end, but the ending is fabulous I think this one is Rachael John’s best yet. Truly don’t miss this one you will not be disappointed.
