Two Lives Of Lydia Bird : A Novel

Bok av Josie Silver
In this next captivating love story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December, a young woman is reunited with her late fiancé in a parallel life. But is this happy ending the one she really wants? Lydia and Freddie. Freddie and Lydia. They'd been together for more than a decade, and Lydia thought their love was indestructible. But she was wrong. On her twenty-eighth birthday, Freddie died in a car accident. So now it's just Lydia, and all she wants to do is hide indoors and sob until her eyes fall out. But Lydia knows that Freddie would want her to try to live fully, happily, even without him. So, enlisting the help of his best friend, Jonas, and her sister, Elle, she takes her first tentative steps into the world, open to life--and perhaps even love--again. But then something inexplicable happens that gives her another chance at her old life with Freddie. A life where none of the tragic events of the past few months have happened. Lydia is pulled again and again across the doorway of her past, living two lives, impossibly, at once. But there's an emotional toll to returning to a world where Freddie, alive, still owns her heart. Because there's someone in her new life, her real life, who wants her to stay. Written with Josie Silver's trademark warmth and wit, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird is a powerful and thrilling love story about the what-ifs that arise at life's crossroads, and what happens when one woman is given a miraculous chance to answer them.
I The Two Lives of Lydia Bird av Josie Silver följer vi Lydia som på hennes tjugoåtta födelsedag förlorar sin pojkvän Freddie. Hon är sörjer och vet inte hur hon ska gå vidare med sitt liv utan att falla i bitar, men för att hon vet att Freddie vill att hon ska leva lyckligt även utan honom inser hon att hon måste gå tillbaka till världen. Men en dag efter att ha tagit ett rosa piller för att hjälpa henne att sova transporteras hon till ett parallellt universum där Freddie fortfarande lever. Lydia dras nu mellan sitt "vakna liv" utan Freddie och hennes "sovande liv" med honom.

Jag tyckte att det här var en väldigt gullig bok. Gillade särskilt förhållandet mellan Lydia och hennes syster Elle och hur de var där för varandra genom svårigheterna i båda liven. Det var många känslor och jag grät lite här och där, särskilt i kapitlet den 20 juli.
