The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver

4.0

slow-paced

---

This book was a bit slow-paced but felt intentional and just right for the content. A few plot lines did feel too abrupt and unsubstantiated but that’s just me being picky. When Sophie recommended this book to me, she described the beauty in how the author shares the main character’s personal journey with grief but also her relational journeys with grief. Josie Silver really handled the messy realities of how grief exists for others and seeps into relationships, weaving their fabric in new ways beautifully. For me, that was the most meaningful part of the book.
