“it's hard to accept that life always marches forward, isn't it? always forward, never back. i was forced to change when my life suddenly changed around me, but even if it hadn't, i'd have changed in one way or another sooner or later, wouldn't i? Because people do, don't they, no one stays the same forever. everything is just so fragile, isn't it? we make our decisions dependent on the day, the weather, our mood, the phases of the moon, what we had for breakfast… i can't keep questioning choices i may or may not have made, blaming myself for being too soft there and too hard here. i see now that i've been walking in circles, making crazy patterns.” i stop and draw breath. “i need to walk in a straight line, Petar.”
não cabe aqui o tanto que essa história me fez chorar. ver a lydia sem rumo doeu tanto em mim, que precisei parar diversas vezes pra me acalmar. é incrível que até o final eu não tinha nem sequer cogitado a possibilidade da outra realidade ser apenas um sonho, uma maneira que o cérebro dela encontrou de escapar da realidade atual. fiquei surpresa com a relação dela com o jonah, mas depois percebi que não tinha como ser diferente.

This was such an emotional story, it was sometimes hard to read but very worth it. Early in the book, the title character's fiancé is killed. Much of the book addresses how she processes her grief and how her family and friends stand by her. She very slowly begins to see how others are moving on with their lives and she's still idealizing her lost relationship. The ending was predictable in a good way, but I found myself thinking it was too abrupt, though it's hard to say how the story should have continued from there.
