I truly believe that there are few authors that can articulate the complexities of human relationships in the way that Coco Mellors can.
Blue Sisters is a stunning portrayal of the complex, but unconditional love one has for a sister (or sibling) and why these relationships are unlike any other we experience in our lifetimes.
Deeply emotional but with flecks of light throughout, it’s easy to fall in love with these characters and to will them to do better by themselves.
Highly HIGHLY recommend. If you enjoyed Cleopatra and Frankenstein, you must read Blue Sisters. 🩵💙

One of my fav books this year. I think women with sisters relate to this book, there is a specific bond between sisters and this book shows it amazingly.

a sister is not a friend. who can explain the urge to take a relationship as primal and complex as a sibling and reduce it to something as replaceable, as banal as a friend?
i absolutely loved blue sisters. i'm a huge fan of books about sisterly love, and this one nailed it. the way the sisters' lives were vastly different and how these lives affected how each dealt with their grief was so interesting to me. though i thought the ending was a bit cheesy, i'm reading everything that coco mellors writes. beautiful book, beautiful cover.
sisters are just 😢
squeezed beside bonnie and lucky now, it was superfluous to describe what she felt for them as love. they were love, beautiful and unbearable and hers.

coco mellors you have done it again!!
i love this author’s writing so much and it was such a privilege to hear her talk about the book in person beforehand on her tour. you can just tell how much of a labour of love this story is - it explores some of my favourites themes; familial responsibility, sibling dynamics and so many different types of love.
i truly loved the blue sisters on every single page and the epilogue had me weeping. i fear i will be sat in waiting for another book to touch me like this until mellor’s next novel.
