The Secrets of Love Story Bridge
by Phaedra Patrick
Sweet story with likable characters! (2/25/2020)
While travelling in Europe, I've always been intrigued with "love padlock" bridges. Reading this story makes the bridges even more enjoyable! From the first chapter, I found myself rooting for Mitchel that he would find his way to happiness. Many times, I found myself laughing out loud while getting to know the book's characters and being part of their situations. Also, I found myself tearing up. Read THE SECRETS OF LOVE STORY BRIDGE if you're looking for a little mystery, likable characters and a special journey to find companionship!
The Guest Book
by Sarah Blake
Island Life! (7/5/2019)
Beautifully written generation story with thorough character development. I enjoyed the detailed description of island life and family traditions. The story reminded me we all act the way we do for a reason and it's better to face our past than bury it! Also, the Milton Family were not the best communicators. It drove me crazy that the granddaughters didn't know the significance of the little yellow car :( I loved Evie's quote "she was in the line up grown-ups behind the child." Good story, read the book and enjoy!
