4.5 rated down because I'm sure if I really thought about it and dissected it, I would rate it lower. But I thoroughly enjoyed this drama.

Lydia irritates me, and I know grief is complex but I just don’t like the way it’s portrayed here

Cover is cute and that is positive I can say, literally bored out my mind.

This is a 3.5 for me..... the ending was super predictable and I was really hoping for something different but alas.....

I loved Josie Silver's other novel "One Day in December", and almost immediately snatched this one when it released. "The Two Lives of Lydia Bird" is quite heartbreaking, but it is also a story about one's mending of the heart. It is quite clear in its agenda and what will happen in the end, but it is still nice to watch everything unfold. Life never goes as expected, but life is surprisingly resilient, and can forge another way to happiness.
