It’s been a long time since a book made me ugly cry. About connection, longing, loss, fear, and family, this book was beautifully crafted by someone who intimately understands the human condition. As the oldest sister of five siblings, I connected with Avery but there were components of the other sisters that resonated as well. The shared grief and the different ways that each sister tried to manage that grief was heartbreakingly real. I will be thinking about the Blue sisters for a long, long time.

This was like the sisterhood of the traveling pants but with grief, addiction, and trauma. 

Heavy themes of addiction throughout. This was a relatively breezy read in spite of that and some saccharine descriptions of the 4th sister. 

Nevertheless was crying by the end.
