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.
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 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, her real life, who wants her to stay.
“I read The Two Lives of Lydia Bird in a single sitting. What a beautiful, emotional gift Josie Silver has given us.”
—Jodi Picoult

Josie is a really talented author and I’d be thrilled to win a copy of her book. Thank you for the chance.
Part of me would like to relive the day(s) my children were born because they were such a blur, and I was so caught up in fear over what was happening that I didn't enjoy it. I think I'd also like to relive a day when I said something hurtful and selfish to a friend. I'd love to be able not to have said those things.
I would love to have paid attention more as a kid and focused on learning a second language. My parents always tried to encourage me, but I pushed back when I was younger.
I would like to relive my days in high school, back then I was quiet and shy and didn't date anyone till my 20's. I changed in my 20's and dated and got married. Thanks for this amazing giveaway. I love the cover of this book and it looks like a fun read.
There are a few relationships I would not enter into if I had the chance for a do-over.
I’m happy the way my life turned out and wouldn’t change anything.
The day my husband and I decided to go on vacation, not knowing at the time he would become gravely ill.
I wouldn't reduce anything. Everything I did in the past made me who I am.
I’d love to do my wedding day over. This time I’d relax and have fun!
I don't think I would do over anything. Everything I've done and been through has made me what I am today, and I'm content.
I think if I could have a do- over I would change just about everything. The only thing I don’t regret is having my 3 children.
I would redo my understanding and behavior when I was young to my parents and grandmother.
I would love to spend more time with my mom
My wedding day, it flew by too quick.
my mom died when I was 21 - I would love to redo the last year with her since i Had no idea what was coming
I would like to redo my early 20's.
I would love to do high school again to learn more and not be so shy.
I would redo turning down a part time summer internship. I still could have worked at my high school job for money, more than likely, but at the time, free part time work wasn't going to cut it.
Thanks!
Probably a lot of moments, but does't really help to look back like that.
I'd like to do over my entire teenage years.
Only one day to do over?? I'd like to rethink my wedding days and not do them. There are a lot more times I'd like to do over but those are the biggest.
I wish my children were all still toddlers!
The day I was struck & injured by a drunk driver.
not sure
As far as doing over my life, I'd not enter certain relationships I was in and perhaps being a little less strict with my children. While I have these wishes, I would like to think that my experiences have made me who I am today.
I would have taken more trips to Australia to visit my parents.
Looking back, there were some clothing outfits over the years that would benefit from a do over.

Wow... this book sounds simply amazing.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this question, and I keep thinking about regrets. I look back to where the worst of things all started, and... In hindsight, my “do-over” would have been to not go to a 4-year college and enter the field of study that I did. I was never focused on “the big picture,” at all— and that ultimately led to some awful things.

I would have traveled more when I was younger
