A Bridge Across the Ocean by Susan Meissner

reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

3.0

I'm going to be honest, I went in with basically no expectations, then it started to get really good so I had high expectations, but by the end I was a bit let down. It's not that the story is bad by any means, but I find it a little nauseating that

Spoiler

the husband, Keith, is basically pressuring Brette for a baby thorughout the whole book, and although he is supportive of her abilities, it feels very much like a "get over it and give me children" situation

.

As for the rest, it was fine, even intriguing at times.

It's a fairly quick read so if you're looking for something a little different, this might be for you.
