About this listen

 This audiobook features an exclusive audio extra narrated by the author.

Named after a famous fictional character, librarian Bridget Jones was raised on a remote cattle station, with only her mother's romance novels for company. Now living alone in Fremantle, Bridget is a hopeless romantic. She also believes that anyone who doesn't like reading just hasn't met the right book yet, and that connecting books to their readers is her superpower. If only her love life was that easy.

When handsome Italian barista Fabio progresses from flirting with love hearts on her coffee foam to joining the book club she runs at her library, Bridget prays her romance 'curse' won't ruin things. But it's the attention of her cranky neighbour Sully that seems to be the major obstacle in her life. Why is he going to so much effort to get under her skin?

With the help of her close friends and the colourful characters who frequent her library, Bridget decides to put both men to the test by finding just the right books to capture their very different hearts. She soon discovers that not all romances start with a meet-cute, but they might just end in happily ever after.

Written by Australia's most beloved romance writer, The Other Bridget is a delightfully uplifting book about books, and a gorgeous celebration of the power and pleasure of romance novels throughout the ages. Contemporary Contemporary Romance Romance Romantic Comedy Comedy Feel-Good Heartfelt

I’ve listened to every one of Rachael John’s books that are available on audible. I love how easy listening they are and provide an escape while I do chores. This is a new narrator and like Casey Withoos, she’s easy to listen to. I miss the outback themes Rachael does. There’s a disclaimer at the start of the book where the author proclaims not to try win any awards other than just providing readers with a good old fashioned love story - and that’s what this book does. As with all of her books which aren’t deep, it’s just a happy listen.

Not like her rural novels but an easy listen

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Wish I could have more of B and Sully’s story together and what comes next.
I’m a Perth local and really enjoyed a book set in my own backyard.
It’s my first or her books and definitely not the last ♥️

Loved this so much!

I found the story so predictable. I kept with it hoping I may get a surprise but that did not happen. The main character is a bit whiny.

Predictable

Loved all the cute funny moments and the plot twist! Didn’t see that coming! A good story overall

Cute story

I mostly liked this book, even the sad bits, but as in other books of this author that I have read, there is, what feels like to me, a contrived misunderstanding / split between main characters. Is it to make the right number of words, pages or chapters? Anyway, close of the end there is an episode which feels so weak and contrived compared to the rest of the writing, and seemed so unnecessary.

A (mostly} fine romance
