maybe it was just the right book at the right time for me but i thought this was incredible. the characters feel so real to me now, i genuinely feel like i'm going to miss them now i've finished the book. the way the perspective alternates between avery, bonnie, and lucky was so well done -- i really felt like they each had such distinctive voices and i was inside each of their heads (even though it's all written in 3rd person). the conversation between avery and her mum in the last chapter before the epilogue hit me so hard i had to take breaks while reading it. i absolutely love these characters and this book. (you probably shouldn't have a favourite sister but bonnie was my favourite.)

Wir begleiten die Schwestern Avery, Lucky und Bonnie Blue.

Sie haben vor einem Jahr ihre Schwester Nicky auf Grund einer Überdosis verloren. Wir erleben den Trauerprozess und die erneute Annäherung der Schwestern. Sie finden einen neuen Weg für ihre Schwesternbeziehung ohne Nicky als aktiven, jedoch immer bleibenden Part. Auch den persönlichen Heilungsprozess von Sucht und Vernachlässigung in der Kindheit können wir verfolgen.

Es ist toll wie die Schwestern als Einzelpersonen und in ihrem Zusammenspiel lebendig werden und die gemeinsamen Herausforderungen zunehmend wieder zusammen bestreiten.

I enjoyed this and wanted to know what would happen. The  exploration of inter generational addiction issues was very realistic. I was rooting for all of the sisters  survival and happiness.

A great read! I was invested in all four sisters’ stories and the pacing was genuine and interesting.
