The Bridge and other Love stories

by Christine Lindop

Luke is a good-looking young man, but he's not very clever with words. Gemma is clever with words, but what does she want? Lucy and Becky are good friends, but what about Sam? He makes wonderful cakes, but does he make mistakes too? Nina and Dragan are in love, so deeply in love, but they live in the wrong place, at the wrong time ...
All love stories have moments of happiness, pain, misunderstanding, laughter, and sometimes
great sadness. But love will nearly always find a way ...

This is a good love story book. Especially, the story about the couple in both side of the bridge and the ending is not really an ending, because the love still exists in every couple comes to that bridge through time.

Love is more important than war.

And I would to say our life, dreames , hopes, families and friends more and more important than war and than everything else.

The first two stories are predictable but the third one is very different.

2/5 STARS!
The first story is a 3/5. It was nice and cute but nothing like wow.
The second story is a 2/5 stars. It was predictable, somewhat boring, but still kinda nice.
The third story was my favorite and give it 3/5 stars. It was more interesting.
This book is not well-written. It's very simple and and kind of like for first-graders. Had to read it for English class. Gonna complain to the teacher and make her give us better books to read.
