A Bridge Across the Ocean by Susan MeissnerMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I don't usually feel that conflicted about book ratings, but this one is tricky for me. Again - Goodreads and the lack of half stars is ridiculous, but here's the deal: Meissner is a good writer, and whoever designs her covers does a great job. BUT I also felt a bit thrown off by a historical fiction book that is partially a ghost story. The book lost a huge portion of interest for me as soon as that storyline was entered in, and then the twist was even more frustrating. Strangely, I had a creepy experience on the Queen Mary when I visited the ship in Long Beach a few summers ago, but not enough to make me relate to the story. All that said, I will for sure read another Meissner book because she creates great characters and compelling plotlines...
Happy reading...but maybe not this one. Life is too short to not read amazing books.
