This book surprised me - whilst I’d seen Coco Mellors making the rounds on social media for her first novel and this new release - I didn’t dream I would take so much from this book. She explores addiction through this upper-middle class family in a way which feels both honest and appropriately pitched to her audience. Above all else, Mellors writes with a knowing intimacy about the singular privilege of loving, and being loved by, a sister. A beautiful story, I think the Blue sisters will stay with me for some time.
