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
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, Jonah, 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.

BESTSELLING AND HIGHLY PRAISED AUTHOR: Josie Silver’s US debut, One Day in December, was a #1 New York Times Bestseller and a Reese’s Book Club pick, and received glowing praise from the AP (“A captivating read”), USA Today (“An unmistakable winner”), Us Weekly (“A must-read”), Bustle (“The perfect cold weather rom-com”) and more.
UNIVERSAL LOVE STORY: Propulsive, moving, and ultimately satisfying.
RELATABLE, LOVABLE HEROINE: Lydia is warm, vulnerable, and extremely accessible in her sadness, wondering whether fate has really given her “the one.” She brings both gravity and levity to the otherwise singular experience of grief and of doubt.
