So so good. Every line is so perfectly crafted and yet the book moves at such a pleasant pace. Really recommend for getting out of a reading slump. Such a beautiful exploration of sisterhood, grief, addiction, and families.

This was such a sisterly wholesome read. Just like any family, the Blue sisters have issues and they are all trying to recover from their sisters untimely death a year later. On top of grieving they have mommy issues. This books comes full circle in understanding each sisters perspective. Made me feel warm at the end.

I can’t decide between 4 and 4.25 stars.
Here are my thoughts:
-I was initially captured by the beautiful description of sisterhood and the fast plot. The book was easy to read and I stayed engaged in it.
-The author used so many big SAT words that felt so distracting. She described Lucky’s smile as “lupine” in like three different ways and it felt repetitive. She also used the word ostensibly way too many times and the phrase “apropos of nothing” more times than felt realistic for a normal human to use. I don’t know, maybe that’s a natural way for the author to talk but it felt unrealistic and annoying and took me out of the story.
- I wanted a little MORE but that is usually how I feel with a family drama with multiple characters. I need at least 400 pages 😂
-this was not as sad as I expected but that’s probably because I just read Demon Copperhead 😂😂😂
- I thought the ending was really beautiful and appreciated seeing the growth in each of the sisters even it was messy and imperfect
Overall a beautiful book that had a little less OOMPH than I had hoped but I still enjoyed it and would recommend.

This is a masterpiece, it’s heavy going in a lot of places and I would advise people to read the trigger warnings especially if you suffer from endometriosis, drug and alcohol addiction.
But the way it captures the bond between sisters, parents and self is just unmatched.

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.
