If you have sisters, you need to read this book. I have two sisters, I’m the oldest and it’s so funny how a person with sisters just knows how to write sister relationships perfectly. I definitely saw both of my sister‘s personalities in Bonnie & Lucky, and although I am not Avery, I definitely saw some similarities between both of us, I think the big sister will always just take on that role of being the protector, while the middle sister is always the mediator and the youngest is the baby with little to no responsibilities even when she does have responsibilities. I think it’s wild how no matter how you were raised that’s pretty much how sister relationships are depending on where you are in the sibling mix. 

Blue Sisters was so well written and I loved how each sister was featured with their own chapters through the book, it made it really easy to follow along, you definitely really had a pay attention to this book because there were times when suddenly the story was in the past and I didn’t realize it was in the past so I had to rewind and figure out what I missed, even though that happened quite a few times I really liked the incredibly smooth transition of going from present to past. (totally on me for not listening well enough, ha) It was certainly an  emotional roller coaster from start to finish, you really weren’t sure what was gonna happen, or if any of the sisters would be able to fix themselves by the end of the book. They all kind of came to the realization that they had issues and they needed to fix at the same time and honestly, even though it might be cliché to end a story, that is so spot on to how sister’s minds work. You will always be connected with them whether you want to or not. It’s similar to “twin telepathy,” in a sense. 

I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading more by Coco Mellors.

An emotional note on the bonds and breaks of sisters, addiction, and finding who we truly are.
