Living Other Lives: Lilly is a medium. She can speak to those who have passed and comfort those left behind. This gift has always been a point of embarrassment for Lilly but she takes it and tries to make a living with it. Unexpectedly, while working, Lilly meets Matt. The two fall in love and get engaged. Lilly's life finally seems to have purpose. Two weeks before the wedding, Matt comes to New York with his daughter Dinah to move Lilly to Ohio. During this time, an unfortunate accident occurs and Matt is killed. Lilly is then left to drive Dinah to her only living relative in Pittsburgh. Unforeseen circumstances keep drawing Lilly and Dinah together and what follows is the realization that though she lost her soul mate, her life isn't over. Through the process of grief, Lilly and Dinah, together, have found a new reality.
I really liked this book. It certainly doesn't sound like a feel good book what with the subject matter but the characters are so well developed that the reader constantly cheers that Lilly and Dinah will find their way. I give it 4 stars...read it...it's a page turner...truly.
