Easily one of the Best Book of the year. I literally read this in a few days after not having finished a book for months and I am totally obsessed. You could probably give me any piece of media with the topic of sisterhood in it and I'd cry consumin it, but this was especiall amazing. I felt so close to every character and I could relate to them on such a deep level, especially with Lucky as a younger sister myself. I never wanted this book to end and I'm so so sad I finished it, but I'm also looking forward to what Coco Mellors will do and write in the future!!
True sisterhood, the kind where you grew fingernails in the same womb, were pushed screaming through identical birth canals, is not the same as friendship. You don't choose each other, and there's no furtive period of getting to know the other. You're part of each other, right from the start. Look at an umbilical cord-tough, sinuous, unlovely, yet essential and compare it to a friendship bracelet of brightly woven thread. That is the difference between a sister and a friend.
