My favorite part of this book was the ending. Up until the last hour or so of the audiobook, it was a “take it or leave it“ kind of book. But the ending was so good to pull together both books, and it ended hopefully which I didn’t expect. That really added a lot of value to the overall story for me and I really enjoyed it.
Otherwise, for the most part, The Boy on the Bridge feels very much like a slightly different version of the first book. It doesn’t have enough merit stand apart. But that ending was solid.
