Lydia Bird is straddling two separate lives: one in which her fiancé Freddie has died on her 28th birthday, and another where he's somehow still alive, but everything is different. In The Two Lives of Lydia Bird ($15, originally $26), a grieving woman must decide whether she wants to live in the past with a lover who isn't quite there, or live her new life to the fullest, as Freddie would have wanted her to.
