Sometimes I really liked it, other times I felt the writing was quite bad / predictable. Luckys character was very tropey and boring for me.

Mooi verhaal! Gaat vooral over vier zussen die samen opgroeien en daarna elkaar beetje kwijtraken, o.a. door ieders eigen moeilijkheden met verslavingen. Vind de band tussen de zussen goed beschreven en vind ze ook leuk anders van elkaar en niet te klef, maar wel realistisch een goede band hebben.
Moest even inkomen in het verhaal en had verwacht dat het een beetje een cliché verhaal zou worden, maar dat was helemaal niet zo. Uniek, mooi verhaal over familie en ook vooral over zelfontwikkeling en een betere versie van jezelf worden met hulp van zussen.

If you have sisters, you need to read this book. I have two sisters, I’m the oldest and it’s so funny how a person with sisters just knows how to write sister relationships perfectly. I definitely saw both of my sister‘s personalities in Bonnie & Lucky, and although I am not Avery, I definitely saw some similarities between both of us, I think the big sister will always just take on that role of being the protector, while the middle sister is always the mediator and the youngest is the baby with little to no responsibilities even when she does have responsibilities. I think it’s wild how no matter how you were raised that’s pretty much how sister relationships are depending on where you are in the sibling mix.

Blue Sisters was so well written and I loved how each sister was featured with their own chapters through the book, it made it really easy to follow along, you definitely really had a pay attention to this book because there were times when suddenly the story was in the past and I didn’t realize it was in the past so I had to rewind and figure out what I missed, even though that happened quite a few times I really liked the incredibly smooth transition of going from present to past. (totally on me for not listening well enough, ha) It was certainly an emotional roller coaster from start to finish, you really weren’t sure what was gonna happen, or if any of the sisters would be able to fix themselves by the end of the book. They all kind of came to the realization that they had issues and they needed to fix at the same time and honestly, even though it might be cliché to end a story, that is so spot on to how sister’s minds work. You will always be connected with them whether you want to or not. It’s similar to “twin telepathy,” in a sense.

I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading more by Coco Mellors.

As a someone with two sisters, I am drawn to books exploring these bonds—especially the dynamics of closeness in a group of three. The story lines had me hooked and reading later into the evening than I ought but I also felt like some things didn’t need to be as explicitly written as they were (if all authors could take notes from the Kristen Kashore Graceling trilogy, I’d appreciate). The conclusion felt almost too “happily ever after”, considering the mess each sister was facing, but I enjoy happy endings so I don’t even know why I mention it. I suppose to explain my rating. Although often trite points, I appreciated the sisters’ reflective moments the most.
