The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver
3.0
3.75 stars?
TW: death of a loved one
This book is so hard to rate and I may change the rating after some time passes. I thought this book was going to be 5 stars, and felt that way through most of the story. This is a raw depiction of someone processing their grief and all the missteps along the way. I was moved multiple times during this read. But also, the story got lost at times. Although I think that did work for the story, I do think some tweaks could have made this really shine. I thought I knew where it was headed, and then it meandered and made me question myself, before finally returning to where I thought it was headed from the beginning, and that left me feeling disoriented. That is all very vague but I will be doing a full review on my channel so I can discuss this more in detail!
