The Two Lives of Lydia Bird
by Josie Silver
3.5/5 stars
What would you do if you had the opportunity to see a loved one again, if you were able to live life with them even after they were gone?
The premise of this book was SO good, and I was immediately drawn in. It gave me similar vibes to that one episode from Black Mirror where a woman has the option of bringing her boyfriend back to life through a robot.
I did find that the story did drag on throughout the book… like even 55% into the story, I found that I wasn’t as invested as I usually should be at that point. But once the part that I was dreading finally happened, I was finally hooked. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, and I died a little inside when it was finished.
Favorite quote:
“I found the old me, still in here, and the new me sitting right alongside her. We made friends.”
