quinn13 's review for:

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed! I love the alternate-lives trope this novel uses, but because both the fiance's death and the move into the alternate life happen so quickly, it took me ages to connect with the story and the characters emotionally. I couldn't help but compare The Two Lives of Lydia Bird unfavourably to Taylor Jenkins Reid's Forever, Interrupted.

I did enjoy this in the end, and I'll read Josie Silver again, but I can't recommend it.
