The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
by Josie Silver
Who wouldn’t take a chance to see a lost loved one again?
On the night of Lydia Bird's 28th birthday, she loses her fiancé, Freddie in a tragic car accident. Understandably, she is heartbroken and grief stricken to the point where she isn't sure she will ever find normal again. She has to learn how to navigate through life and move forward.
But something truly magical happens when Lydia is asleep, after taking a little pink pill, she finds herself living an alternate life, one in which Freddie is alive and well.
"The Two Lives of Lydia Bird" is a lovely and unique story because it alternates between Lydia being awake and asleep. She often finds her life while she's sleeping is better than the life she lives awake. Lydia ultimately has to choose between being present in reality, or temporarily mending her broken heart in her dreams.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up from me.
Quote from the book I loved: “The human brain is wired to cope with grief. It knows even as we fall into unfathomably dark places, there will be light again, and if we just keep moving forward in one brave straight line, however slowly, we’ll find our way back again.”
