Blog Tour- The Two Lives of Lydia Bird

Publication date 30th January 2020

About the book

What if you could live your great love story again?

Lydia and Freddie. Freddie and Lydia. They've been together for almost a decade, and Lydia thinks their love is indestructible.

But she's wrong. Because on her 27th birthday, Freddie dies in a tragic accident.

So now it's just Lydia, and all she wants to do is hide indoors and sob 'til her eyes fall out. But Lydia knows that Freddie would want her to live her life well. So, enlisting the help of his best friend and her sister Elle, she takes her first tentative steps into the world and starts to live - perhaps even to love - again.

Then something unbelievable happens, and Lydia gets another chance at her old life with Freddie. But what if there's someone in her new life who wants her to stay?

My Review

This is an absolutely beautiful read that will be sure to warm you heart. Extremely emotional at times, you will definitely need a box of tissues. The characters are really brilliant, they really made the story.
I really liked the way the author has written this book, I found it so easy to read.
This is a book that will stay with me forever and I would absolutely say it is up there with my favourite books of all time.
I am so excited for the next book by this author.

About the book

It’s normal for your washing machine to get more action than you, right?

I wake up, bleary-eyed. It’s been two years, six months and three hours since I last shaved my legs, and the llama-patterned knickers I’m wearing have seen better days.
We have seven minutes before the kids wake up, and my husband shuffles closer. ‘Ouch,’ he says, a piece of Lego sticking into his back.
Then, a light comes on in the landing. Small footsteps creep down the stairs. A little voice screams, ‘IS SOMEONE COMING TO MAKE BREAKFAST?!’
All hope of having some ‘alone time’ is replaced with wondering if we’ve run out of Cheerios, thinking about the overflowing laundry, and remembering that I forgot to take out the recycling. Again.
Just a typical Monday morning for the Morton family…
Except today, when I go downstairs in my dressing gown, I find something. Something belonging to my husband. Something that definitely wasn’t in the wedding vows. And it’s either going to make us… or break us.

My Review

Oh my goodness! This has got to be one of my favourite books! It is absolutely hilarious so many times I kept bursting out laughing, honestly it is so good! So many of us will be able to relate to this. Such an easy to read book that you will just devour in one sitting it is impossible to put it down.

This is the first I have read from this author and it certainly won’t be the last, I can’t wait to read the next book! The way things are going she will definitely become a favourite author of mine.

Blooming marvellous!
