'The feelgood read of the year.' - Better Reading

WINNER - Favourite Aussie-Set Romance, Australian Romance Readers Awards 2024

'Prolific, entertaining and charming, Rachael Johns is arguably the best romantic writer in Australia.' - The Australian

Named after a famous fictional character, librarian Bridget Jones was raised on a remote cattle station, with only her mother's romance novels for company. Now living alone in Fremantle, Bridget is a hopeless romantic. She also believes that anyone who doesn't like reading just hasn't met the right book yet, and that connecting books to their readers is her superpower. If only her love life was that easy.

When handsome Italian barista Fabio progresses from flirting with love hearts on her coffee foam to joining the book club she runs at her library, Bridget prays her romance 'curse' won't ruin things. But it's the attention of her cranky neighbour Sully that seems to be the major obstacle in her life. Why is he going to so much effort to get under her skin?

With the help of her close friends and the colourful characters who frequent her library, Bridget decides to put both men to the test by finding just the right books to capture their very different hearts. She soon discovers that not all romances start with a meet-cute, but they might just end in happily ever after...

Written by Australia's most beloved romance writer, The Other Bridget is a delightfully uplifting book about books, and a gorgeous celebration of the power and pleasure of romance novels throughout the ages.

The Other Bridget has everything a booklover could want in a great read. Our protagonist is a delight. Tick. She works with books. Tick. There's an all-star supporting cast. Tick. The two love interests are perfectly cast and the chemistry sizzles. Tick-tick. But also, this exceptional story has so much heart, humour and intelligence. I often laughed out loud and, yes, I even got teary. It delivers. The Other Bridget is Rachael at the top of her game. The writing sings. It's a superb celebration of libraries, friendship and books. It will be difficult to top this for a feelgood read this year.' - Better Reading

'Pure sunshine for the soul. I just loved it!' - Tess Woods

About the Author

Rachael Johns was once (briefly) an English teacher, before turning her attention to writing - and never looking back. She now writes award-winning romance, women's fiction, and the occasional awkward text. Her novel The Patterson Girls won the 2016 ABIA for General Fiction, and she's a two-time winner of the Romance Writers of Australia RUBY Award. When she's not writing, Rachael can be found hanging out with her adorable Sheepadoodle, listening to audiobooks, or fuelling her latest obsession-reformer Pilates. She lives in the Swan Valley with her husband, two of her three sons (the other has flown the nest), and tells herself she'll read more non-fiction every year-but let's be honest, the novels always win. Rachael is the co-host of two podcasts- Reading Between Deadlines and Dear Rach & Soph, and also runs the vibrant Rachael Johns Book Club on Facebook. You can find her at www.rachaeljohns.com or subscribe to her Substack, Pink Ink, where she shares behind-the-scenes bookish thoughts and writer life.
