The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver

5.0

I’ll be honest — I’ve never finished a book so fast. The Two Lives of Lydia Bird swept me off my feet instantly. I even found myself thinking about the lives of characters while trying to fall asleep at night.

Josie Silver has outdone herself in this heart-filing novel. For someone who has experienced the fluid movements of life, this read hits home and provides serenity. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to those who are grieving, feeling stuck, or needing to get out of their own world. Everyone else, I recommend it you, too ... over and over again.

Xoxo, Sam
