HTML:Two lives. Two loves. One impossible choice. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reese??s Book Club Pick One Day in December . . . ??I read The Two Lives of Lydia Bird in a single sitting. What a beautiful, emotional gift Josie Silver has given us.???Jodi Picoult 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.
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 Lydia??s twenty-eighth birthday, Freddie died in a car accident.
So now it??s just Lydia, and all she wants is to 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, Jonah, and her sister, Elle, she takes her first tentative steps into the world, open to life??and perhaps even love??again.

Lydia is pulled again and again through the doorway to 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… (meer)
I thought the second half of this was rather strong, and I give an extra half star for that. The ending, while a bit cliched, did involve a lot of self-love and improvement that I appreciated.
The first half, however, felt like a combination of Cecelia Ahern's P.S. I LOVE YOU and Taylor Jenkins Reid's ONE TRUES LOVES and it just felt rather self-indulgent. I loved Josie Silver's previous book and I'm definitely not disappointed in this, bu I felt like she could have done better and this plot point was just so very gimmicky. ( )

Most of life's defining moments happen unexpectedly; sometimes they slide past you completely unnoticed until afterward, if at all.

It cuts me. Our friendship is a small boat that's been tossed around on towering storm waves since the accident, smashed into time and time again by anger and grief and relentless frustration. Sometimes we've crested the wave, clutching each other's hands for dear life, other times we've been hurled to the depths and wondered if the only way to survive is to throw the other overboard to lighten the load. It feels tonight as if Jonah has finally made his choice. The boat isn't going to make it safely home with both of us aboard.
"...Some people fall in love at first sight and stay together forever, other people marry their childhood sweetheart and end up in the divorce courts. You can't predict life, Jonah, you can only try to make the best of whatever it throws at you."
There isn't a handy grief blueprint. You don't get over losing someone you love in six months or two years or twenty, but you do have to find a way to carry on living without feeling as if everything that comes afterward is second best.
There's more than one happy ending for everyone.
