4.5 starsIt feels like forever-ago that I read On Dublin Street. I absolutely loved that book. But, the busy life of a blogger left me falling a bit behind in the series. I'm trying hard to get caught up on reviews the past few months and this series was among the top of my list. I was reminded, once again, how much I loved this series and these characters.In Until Fountain Bridge, we get Ellie and Adam's story. If you read ODS, you know that Ellie had a health scare which left the whole group reeling. It also made Adam own up to his feelings for Ellie and claim her as his. So, in this little novella, we get the story about how Ellie has been in love with Adam since she was young. Again, if you read the first book, you know a lot about their story, but what made this novella unique was the way it was written. This story is told through Ellie's journal entries. There are present day moments too, but I loved learning a bit more about their history as friends and I feel like I finally got to see them falling in love. It was such a special treat.Overall, I enjoyed this one so much. I used to and occasionally journal too, so I felt a likeness to Ellie and this also made me want to go back and read some of my own journal entries. If you're a fan of the series, you won't want to miss this novella!Quote:~"It's painful to see how my stupidity hurt you at the time, but I like being inside your head. I like knowing that while I was struggling with the fact that I had fallen in love with my best friend's little sister, she loved me back more than I could ever hope to deserve."-Loc 885~"I'm the only one who knows sweet 'butter wouldn't melt in her mouth' Ellie Carmichael likes it when I talk dirty."-Loc 1418
