Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors

dark emotional reflective sad

4.0

Raw thoughts ahead!

This was a beautiful and realistic portrait of sisterhood. While I don’t have any sisters myself, I could still connect with the bond that Mellors conveyed between her characters.

I think there were bits that felt overwritten - Avery’s perspective in particular. I didn’t find her as intriguing as I think her character’s background lended itself to. I wanted to know more about her addiction and recovery, but a lot of her chapters felt a bit fluffy and unfocused (compared to Lucky’s and Bonnie’s)

The ending was very well done. It was wholesome and reflective and scratched the literary itch I was yearning for. 

Mellors’ writing overall was very readable! For a book >400 pages, it read quickly 75% of the time. I’m excited to pick up her debut novel!
