My favorite part of this book was the ending. Up until the last hour or so of the audiobook, it was a “take it or leave it“ kind of book. But the ending was so good to pull together both books, and it ended hopefully which I didn’t expect. That really added a lot of value to the overall story for me and I really enjoyed it.

Otherwise, for the most part, The Boy on the Bridge feels very much like a slightly different version of the first book. It doesn’t have enough merit stand apart. But that ending was solid.

Didn't like it as much as The Girl with All the Gifts; that will always have a place in my heart. Still, this was great.
