Book Review: Bridge Between Us by Kellie Coates Gilbert

Sometimes Essential Bridges Are Closer To Collapse Than Anyone Notices Until The Collapse. This book works on a lot of levels with the title, and honestly even the things that some might find annoying (and others will find endearing and, sadly, even far too relatable) are *right there* in the description of the book.

But as a *ahem* bridge *ahem* story between establishing these characters and this family in the first few books and now showing more active conflict between them - yes, much of which threatens them in many different ways - this story really is in some ways perhaps the strongest entry in the overall arc yet.

One of those stories where when you finish this one, your very next question will be "when can I get my hands on the next one?". (February 21, 2027, btw - 105 days after the publication of this book.)

That's going to be one *long* wait with where you'll be when you finish this book. Fortunately, I happen to have several to recommend while you wait - Kay Bratt's Hart's Ridge series (17 books and counting), Soraya Lane's Lost Daughters series (9 books), and B.R. Spangler's Detective Casey White series (13 books + a new 2 book and counting spinoff series) among them, and those are just among some books with some similar elements to this series. :)

Overall truly a strong story of bridges, how essential they are... and how essential it is to monitor and maintain them.

Very much recommended.
