The Bridge

De: Sophie Mansur-Gupte

“Every life is a bridge—some of us just don’t realize we’ve already begun crossing.”

Mila wants to drive until the road disappears. She tells herself she’s just clearing her head. That she isn’t running—from the silence in her marriage, from the ghost of her former life, or from the unbearable absence of her little boy.

But suddenly the world goes quiet. Too quiet.

In the small, perfect town of Alder Ridge, every lawn is trimmed, every smile rehearsed, and the air smells faintly of rain even when the sky is clear. The neighbors are kind. Too kind. The days are almost—but not quite—the same. And the boy next door, Eli, feels familiar in a way that tears something open inside her.

As Mila settles into her new home, the seams begin to show:
Boxes filled with belongings she never owned.
Phone calls to a husband that never connect.
A photograph on her mantel she doesn't remember taking.

When the truth finally surfaces, it comes like a reflection in still water—something that was always there, waiting for her to see.

The Bridge is a haunting exploration of what waits for us.

Fans of Freida McFadden, Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, and Lucy Foley’s quiet suspense will devour this slow-burn, twist-filled novel about love, loss, and the impossible beauty of letting go.
