Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors

4.75

Blue Sisters is the devastating and gritty story of three sisters - Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky - a year after losing their sister, Nicky. When their mom emails them on the anniversary of her death stating her intention to sell their childhood home, the sisters are confronted with their grief in an entirely new way. 

This is a story about grief, addiction, sisterhood, and family. What it means to be your own family and how to build it back up after tragedy, and if that's even possible. 

I was first intrigued by this book because of the cover. But when I read that it's about four sisters and addiction, I knew I had to read it. I'm the youngest of four sisters. I watched my beloved sister struggle with addiction for years. I knew it would be a tough read for me but I am so happy I was able to get through it. I am so happy my sister is 12 years clean and thriving. 

Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky each dealt(or not dealt) with their grief in different ways. All of them infuriating and all of them heartbreaking. I was rooting so hard for these girls. The ending was a bit rushed and I think I hated the way the epilogue ended but I really just love these sisters SO MUCH that I can forgive it.
