Coco Mellors writes so well. I picked this book up because I loved her first book, Cleopatra and Frankenstein. She did not disappoint. I love how vivid each description is. I love how many different themes she is able to explore in the span of 339 pages. I have nothing but good things to say about this book and its author.

there’s four sisters and one of them dies, they have to figure out how to grieve together

lizziaha's review against another edition

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.

Blue Sisters is an emotionally gripping story about three sisters navigating the complexities of grief. The author does an exceptional job developing each character, giving each sister a distinct voice and perspective as they cope with loss. The layered storytelling and heartfelt emotions make this book a deeply moving read that stays with you long after the final page.

I wanted 100 more pages of this -  a rare feeling for me. I loved the cadence and rhythm of it. As a mood reader it was exactly what I needed right now. 

This isn’t a joyful or easy read in that the journey you go on with Avery, Bonnie, Lucky, and even Nicky is one of pain, deception, and brutal honesty. I found myself amazed at the distinctions and similarities woven through each sister. This story captivated me from the first pages, and I found it very difficult to put down (my favorite kind of books). Not sure this one is for everyone but recommend for anyone with siblings, or anyone who is working through grief or addiction, as all three of those are life long afflictions. Lastly I am struck by the beauty of sibling love, an experience you only truly understand if you are lucky enough to have some.
