After the very raw and dark elements of this authors first book I was pleasantly surprised that this book didn’t delve into more of the darker aspects of relationships which I appreciated. As the oldest of three sisters I could relate to Avery’s perspective a little more. A wonderful family saga about the four Blue sisters and their individual struggles with trauma and loss.

A very piercing story about addiction, grief, sisterhood, and being a woman in this messed up, patriarchal world. I was really impressed with how the author was able to balance & find the interplay in all these heavy concepts, and still somehow create a hopeful story. The characters were very multi-dimensional, and there were some really funny moments too. Would definitely recommend!
