Jennifer Collinsââ?¬â?¢ ââ?¬Å"Bridges Between Our Heartsââ?¬Â? is a deeply moving and satisfying conclusion to the Love That Does Not Die trilogy. In this final installment, Collins masterfully intertwines themes of love, resilience, and redemption, offering her readers a thorough exploration of the enduring power of love. For readers who have not read the previous installments, or those who might just need a bit of a refresher on the cast of characters, the first chapter is a diary-style list of who is important in the life of our main character, Larissa. As someone who has not had the chance to read the previous two books yet, this list was helpful in getting me settled into the story and eager to know what happens next.
Probably the best part of ââ?¬Å"Bridges Between Our Heartsââ?¬Â? is the characters themselves. The story follows Larissa as she builds a relationship with her first child, Emery, the son she was forced to give up for adoption when she was 16 years old, and his young daughter. Collins really digs into Larissaââ?¬â?¢s struggles, bringing her to life on the page. The charactersââ?¬â?¢ journeys towards self-acceptance and mutual understanding are handled with nuance. Larissaââ?¬â?¢s relationship with her granddaughter Beth is quite touching. There are a lot of sweet moments, and deep emotions happening with Larissaââ?¬â?¢s family, but the efforts they put into caring for one another and communicating made me quite fond of everyone by the end of the book. In many ways, it was like getting invited to your friendââ?¬â?¢s family reunion and wishing they were your family, too. For newcomers to this series, it will be exciting to go back into previous volumes to see how Larissa ended up where she is in the final book.
ââ?¬Å"Bridges Between Our Heartsââ?¬Â? by Jennifer Collins is a heartfelt conclusion to the Love That Does Not Die trilogy. It shows Larissaââ?¬â?¢s resilience and dedication to herself and her family and shows us the power love has. Readers will find her character relatable and probably have several favorites among the rest of the cast as well. Through strong character development and by pulling on our emotional heartstrings Collins has created a story that will win over new readers and delight long-time fans of the trilogy.

Bridges Between Our Hearts, by Jennifer Collins, is the poignant conclusion to the Love That Does Not Die trilogy. Set against the backdrop of post-pandemic recovery, the story explores Larissa�s journey as she reconnects with her family, navigates complex relationships, and finds solace in her memories and the act of writing. Readers gain intimate insights into her struggles and triumphs through her diary entries, making this a deeply emotional and relatable narrative.
Collins�s writing is rich and evocative, immersing the reader in Larissa's inner world. Her prose is both lyrical and accessible, making complex emotions and situations resonate on a personal level. One of the standout aspects of the book is how Collins portrays grief and healing. For instance, Larissa's reflections on her daughter Emma, who passed away, are heart-wrenching yet filled with a sense of enduring love and connection. This is particularly evident when Larissa participates in a TV show discussing Emma and the tribute song written for her, where she shares her fears and the beauty of her daughter�s legacy.
The novel's structure, alternating between diary entries and narrative storytelling, allows readers to directly experience Larissa's raw emotions and thoughts. This format adds a layer of intimacy and authenticity, making the characters� experiences feel more profound. The scenes where Larissa interacts with her family, especially her grandchildren, are touching and realistic. For example, her relationship with her granddaughter Beth is beautifully depicted through their shared moments and the special "birthday in a tote bag" tradition, highlighting the depth of their bond and the legacy of love Larissa aims to leave.
While I enjoyed the story, I felt that there were moments where the pacing felt somewhat uneven, particularly when transitioning between memories and present events. While these shifts are essential to understanding Larissa�s character development, I think they occasionally disrupt the narrative flow. Despite this minor issue, the book's emotional weight and heartfelt messages remain impactful. Collins effectively uses these transitions to underscore the theme of bridging past and present, showing how memories and current experiences shape Larissa's journey.
Bridges Between Our Hearts is a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and the enduring connections that define our lives. The author captures the essence of familial bonds and the healing power of writing. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate deeply emotional narratives and those who have followed Larissa's story from the beginning of the trilogy.
