Not engaging for me.  Struggling with the narrator.  I'll probably try and read it later.

This is a beautiful, captivating and heartfelt story about the Blue Sisters which reminds me somewhat of Little Women. The sisters suffer a heartbreak in their family and each sister expresses their grief through different forms of addiction (pain, kleptomania, drugs/alcohol). Throughout the saga the sisters learn to forgive themselves, let go and live again. 

The author captures the bond between and the complexity of the sisters beautifully. She displays such dreamy prose. Some novels hit a lull or boring point but I did not experience that at all in Coco Mellors’ writing. I loved this. I can’t wait to read what else the author has in store for us!

4.5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Thank you NetGalley for the ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I adored cleopatra and Frankenstein when it came out and highly anticipated Mellor’s second novel. And I loved it even more! I enjoyed reading about each sister and felt their uniqueness and connection to Nicki individually.

The epilogue ruined the perfect rating for me. Lucky becoming famous felt really far fetched. And Bonnie naming her child (also the baby’s POV(?)) felt too obvious, like the ending was trying to be tied up in a nice little bow when realistically the rest of the story was darker and chaotic.
