Wanted to like it more, to feel more interested in the relationships of the sisters but it's difficult to empathise with rich women who don't get how privileged they are :)
There are some very good scenes and moments though, but some were also repetitive (why talk about the same memories from the different pov if it's not to tell anything new?
Also :a lesbian cheating on her wife by sleeping with a MAN ?? please ???

The prose was amazing, but the story fell flat. Instead of focusing on 4 sisters this book would have been stronger with only 3. There simply wasn’t enough time to explore Nicky or Bonnie when 85% of the story focused on Avery and Lucky. A story on the complexity of addiction is hard to achieve and I don’t think this book does well enough of a job. Removing the character of Bonnie and instead focusing on the relationship between Avery and Lucky after the death of Nicky and how their similarities and self destructive tendencies clash would have made this a 4 or 5 star read.
