A unique spiritual story hampered by odd writing decisions
This book was…definitely an experience. I’ll start off with what worked.The symbolism in Bridge to Another Dimension is nice and thoughtfully written. I enjoyed all of the various “signs” Adi received, such as certain lyrics from a song on the radio, poems on topics relating to where she was in life, and visits from loved ones in her dreams. I found the moth release scene to be especially touching.Ron and Adi’s letters towards each other were also well done. I liked how many there were and how detailed they wrote them; I think it helps set the book apart from others that use this trope. In addition, I felt like I got a good glimpse into what kind of characters they were as well as the struggles they faced, which might have been harder to achieve otherwise.Now for the things that didn’t work. There are quite a few, unfortunately.First is Adi and her son Ariel. I would have liked to see more interactions between these two. Even mentions of him were scant, which is surprising considering that the book takes place over the span of 18 years. Yes, Ariel is a very minor character but he is Adi’s son after all. I feel this was a missed opportunity to not include at least a few descriptions of him growing up.Next up is Ron and Adi’s relationship. I was disappointed and taken back upon finding out that Ron was married. While he does vaguely mention that he has a family, his wife is not explicitly mentioned until almost halfway through the book. Adi also never questions this, which I found odd.However, the most frustrating thing about this affair between the two is how the book itself does not even acknowledge it. Instead, Ron and Adi’s relationship is referred to as an “acquaintance” or “friendship”, which could not be further from the truth. A platonic friend or acquaintance does not constantly buy you gifts, take you on day trips, exchange emotionally intimate letters with you, kiss you in private, and carve both of yours’ initials on things. This is clearly a love affair, and the fact that the author does not acknowledge this is irksome, to say the least.I’m confused as to why the author decided to go this route. Writing Ron to have an affair does not make sense for the kind of character he is and does not fit in what is supposed to be a loving, spiritual romance. Having Ron be divorced like Adi would have made MUCH more sense, and it would have fit perfectly with how the two mirrored each other throughout the book.There’s a part in the story where Adi undergoes a past life regression and remembers a past life of hers where she was a commoner who fancied a man of high social status. Of course, the man in question is Ron’s former self. Anyways, past life Adi gets beaten up when it’s found out that she is getting close to him. Pretty sad, right? Oh, but by the way, they’re also half-siblings. No, I’m not joking. That fact was just thrown in there and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I kept rereading the passage to make sure I wasn’t misunderstanding, but no, Adi’s past self was legit trying to get with half-brother Ron. I mean sure, those kinds of things DID use to happen, but why include something like that? It’s gross, unnecessary, and serves absolutely no purpose. It also ruined what otherwise could have been an emotional scene.Bridge to Another Dimension has got some good things going for it, but also some head-scratchingly strange things that I can’t quite shake. For this reason, I would hesitate to recommend it. I will say though that Bridge to another Dimension is a story unlike any I’ve ever read, for better and for worse.

If you're fascinated by the spirit realm, miracles, and soul connections then this book is for you.
My heart and soul are touched from reading about such a beautiful and spiritual connection between the two main characters, Adi and Ron. I found myself so moved by their complementary souls that I often experienced goosebumps and adrenaline rush. The synchronicities, serendipities, dreams, and soul love reminded me of some of my own miraculous experiences that I am so passionate about. If it is at all possible in this lifetime, I would love to experience complementary soul union and heightened spiritual development similar to Adi and Ron's."The warmth that radiates from you toward me brings pleasure to my heart."-"There is a land for the dead and land for the living, and love is the bridge."I also learned a lot from reading Bridge to Another Dimension. I could relate to some of the traits of both Adi and Ron, so some of their life lessons really spoke to me. Maybe I was meant to read this book."We can only be happy once the heart has been broken a little."-"The happiest of people are not necessarily those who have everything. They are the people who simply value what they find along the way."This book was also very comforting and uplifting since I was going through a tough time. It gave me the space to escape into a world based on themes that I'm already so passionate about. I am also looking for people I can share these spiritual experiences with who aren't skeptical, so in a way this book gave me that "community".My only quibble is I found the letters between Adi and Ron a bit repetitive and excessive after a while. This could be because I get impatient at times. The letters reminded me to slow down and marinate on the messages. No need to be in a rush to finish, especially with a book so beautifully executed. I was almost going to give 4 stars for that, but I just can't bring myself to because this book reached my soul and heart in a way that I didn't know was possible.If you are someone who is fascinated by the spirit realm, miracles, and soul connections while keeping an open mind, then this book is for you.

Remarkable, almost unbelievable love story!
I was immediately struck by the exquisite writing style displayed in the Prologue of this remarkable story. Although that style did not continue in the actual telling of the story it may have been due to translation. Or simply that the story was not in the words of the author, but of the woman herself, Adi. Nevertheless, the story was beyond incredible. It is a touching human, earthly love story that continues after the death in very concrete and important ways that prove that life continues on the Other Side. And communication across that barrier is possible. It is a bit too "spiritual" kind of love for me, but it is their love story. And there is nothing more important than love in all its many forms. I shall not forget this inspiring story.
