But Lydia knows that Freddie would want her to try to live fully, happily, even without him. So now it’s just Lydia, and all she wants is to hide indoors and sob until her eyes fall out. On Lydia’s twenty-eighth birthday, Freddie died in a car accident. They’d been together for more than a decade and Lydia thought their love was indestructible. But where they differ is the mystical realism element that is featured in this one. Both stories are quite serious with elements of humor-I would say Lydia Bird has the edge though in seriousness as she deals with the loss of her fiancé. This is another story that will grab you right away and I ended up reading it in one sitting. So, of course, I’ve been looking forward to The Two Lives of Lydia Bird. She’s such a talented writer and really elevates the contemporary women’s fiction genre. Josie has a way, very similar to Taylor Jenkins Reid, of writing emotional scenes that truly hit you to your core. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it. I loved Josie Silver’s One Day in December it’s one of my favorite reads of the past couple of years.
