A very piercing story about addiction, grief, sisterhood, and being a woman in this messed up, patriarchal world. I was really impressed with how the author was able to balance & find the interplay in all these heavy concepts, and still somehow create a hopeful story. The characters were very multi-dimensional, and there were some really funny moments too. Would definitely recommend!

emotional

4.0

I really got swept up in the emotions of this book. I felt like I was trapped in a downward spiral with these characters. The way Mellors writes about addiction is cutting and heartbreakingly realistic. That was the real standout of the book for me. 

I thought the portrayal of the sisters and birth order leaned a bit into cliché, but maybe that’s because i’m a middle child?? and obviously I don’t know the epic highs and lows of being the eldest or the youngest. 

The beginning and middle really captured me, but the ending didn’t do it for me.

A captivating story about 4 sisters, each with a complex and deep character.

includes a character with endometriosis which the story incorrectly describes how it can be cured by hysterectomy. Endometriosis cannot be cured by anything, and acknowledging this may have changed the story.
