A very fresh kind of romcom but with all the warmth and heart and emotional punch you’d expect from Rachael Johns. Bridget loves books and her hot barista but definitely not her neighbour Sully - and she should know better than anyone not to judge a book by its cover. This sparkly, witty story feels like a big, nostalgic hug. For fans of Beth O’Leary and Emily Henry - and of course Bridget Jones - this book is pure, heartfelt joy for book lovers everywhere.

Out 30 January: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/the-other-bridget-9781761341717 A feelgood romantic comedy by Australia's bestselling romance writer, ideal for fans of Emily Henry and Marian Keyes. 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.
