edshara 's review for:
The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
by Josie Silver
This was good, even though, it was easy to guess how it was all going to work out. Lydia’s journey through grief and heartache felt authentic and it was easy to root for her growth and healing. I’m glad she found, true happiness, I just hate it took death for her to find her way there.
I’m a fan of alternate reality, however, I didn’t like the use of the sleeping pills for Lydia to get there. It could have easily been done differently and still worked.
The communication in this book is pretty darn good and I liked that things felt really adult. Even when characters were being ridiculous, most of them were able to be upfront and honest about it, even holding themselves accountable. I do agree with other reviewers about the length because you do get a little antsy after the halfway point. Josie Silver could have given us less and this still would have been good.
