There are four Blue sisters. Avery, the eldest who now lives in London as the “perfect” sister after a brief stint of addiction in her 20s. Bonnie, the stoic boxing champion. Nicky, the meant to be mother, teacher. Lucky, the model and wild youngest sister. When Nicky dies the sisters lives begin to fall apart. A year later they re-meet in New York and finally learn to grieve, live and face life once more.

This book is a beautiful story of love, family and grief. With some similarities to Cleopatra and Frankenstein, with characters having some unlikeable traits, these characters are ones you find yourself able to forgive and love much faster. This book is different in many ways despite that beautiful writing style of Mellors. If you weren’t a fan of Cleopatra and Frankenstein because of the characters, I suggest you give this one a go instead as the characters are actually likeable this time! And the story is just heart-warming as well as heart-wrenching!
