The Other Bridget

Bridget by name, Bridget by nature…

Librarian Bridget Jones, named after the famous fictional heroine, was raised on a remote farm, with only her mother’s romance novels for company.

Now, living alone in the city, Bridget is a hopeless bookaholic and believes that anyone who doesn’t like reading just hasn’t met the right book yet. If only fixing her love life was that simple.

When handsome Italian barista Fabio catches her eye, Bridget prays she won’t ruin things. But when her cranky neighbour Sully insists on making life tricky, she is faced with a new obstacle. Why is he going to so much effort to drive her round the bend?

With the help of a colourful cast of friends, Bridget decides to put both men to the test. But will mixing romance and fiction lead to her happily ever after?

The Other Bridget is a feel-good romantic comedy by Australia’s bestselling romance writer, perfect for fans of Marian Keyes and Sophie Kinsella.

“A feisty book-loving heroine, two hot heroes, and side plots about characters you care about, this lovely romance will keep you turning pages well into the night.” Paige Toon bestselling author

“Prolific, entertaining and charming, Rachael Johns is arguably the best romantic writer in Australia.” The Australian

“The Other Bridget has everything a booklover could want in a great read. Our protagonist is a delight. Tick. She works with books. Tick. There’s an all-star supporting cast. Tick. The two love interests are perfectly cast and the chemistry sizzles. Tick-tick. But also, this exceptional story has so much heart, humour and intelligence. I often laughed out loud and, yes, I even got teary. It delivers. The Other Bridget is Rachael at the top of her game. The writing sings. It’s a superb celebration of libraries, friendship and books. It will be difficult to top this for a feelgood read this year.” Better Reading reviewer
