A lovely story of the Blue sisters, each dealing with the aftermath of their darling sister, Nicky's death. Each sister, uniquely her own, reacts to Nicky's death within the year anniversary of her passing. Their lives will never be the same. It is a story about grief, childhood trauma, and the sister bond that is visceral and real. The story takes the reader through each remaining sister's reaction to Nicky's death and how each sister uniquely handles the fall-out as a result of her death. 

The writing was enjoyable and well done, more literary than I expected and could be one of my favorite novels of the year. Beautifully written and would be enjoyed by those who liked Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano.
