The Secrets of Love Story Bridge: A Novel

Mitchell is still mourning the loss of his wife while trying his best to raise his daughter, Poppy, and do his job. He used to be an architect, but now he works in city maintenance cutting padlocks left by couples off city bridges. After a hot pop group does a song about the love locks, couples go overboard affixing their own locks to proclaim their love. When Michell witnesses a young woman attach her own lock and then fall off the bridge, he dives after her without a second thought. His split-second decision ends up changing the course of his life.

This book is exceptionally well written. The characters are multi-dimensional, realistic, and vivid. The unique storyline is part mystery as well as heartwarming romantic drama. Every character is interesting and reveals their own surprising secrets along the way. Even Michell’s daughter is a delightful character, written as a realistic young girl.

You’ll go through the range of emotions with this book. Much of it is bittersweet, but the underlying emotion of this story is hope. This is truly a feel-good read with substance.
