![]() ![]() Jonah-the third in their group, Lydia’s one-time best friend before Freddie moved to town, and a constant, friendly presence in her life from childhood-is also struggling with the accident, which he walked away from. Author Silver ( One Day in December, 2018) has created a story about grief that follows Lydia in two worlds-real life, where she must grapple with life without Freddie for the first time since they met at school in their little Shropshire town in England, and in her sleeping pill–aided dreams, where there was no accident and their wedding plans are continuing apace. And with that, the last conversation she ever has with her beloved passes her by while she tries to disentangle a Velcro roller from her hair. The delay will make him late, much to Lydia’s chagrin. He's going to make a detour to pick up his best friend, Jonah Jones, for her birthday dinner. On Lydia Bird’s 28th birthday, she has an innocuous conversation with her long-term partner, Freddie Hunter. A woman loses her partner in a horrific car accident and must piece together her life while dreaming about an alternate reality of what life would have been like had he not died. ![]()
