the year isn’t over but i think this is going to be a tough one to beat. this genuinely might be my favorite book ive read this year and i do not say that lightly. 

i wish i could just copy and paste this book into this comment section because every single line of this book was genuine perfection. the last chapter of averys monologue to chiti talking about missing nicky like i’ll cry and think about that everyday for the rest of me life probably. bonnie’s one liners. luckys graphic depictions of feeling too much at all times.
god and when avery went to visit her mom and was talking about how she blamed herself for nicky’s death and her mother looked her in the eyes and told her “you are not that important” will haunt me for the entirety of my life


god the realities of addiction and the way they are depicted in this book were so unbelievably raw and real in a way that you could only understand if you’ve had an addict in your life. 

the sisters! the sisterhood of it all! god i don’t have a sister but this book made me feel like i was the fifth blue sister. what i do have is a brother and this book made me realize that there is just simply no one else in the world that is going to understand why you are the way that you are better than your sibling. 

the discussions of grief. the hold it can have on us. the places that it can take us to, good and bad, are so frightening while also being beautiful. god i really have no words. 

avery, bonnie, nicky and lucky forever like wtf i loved this book an unimaginable amount.
