Thank you to NetGalley, Random House - Ballantine, and Coco Mellors for the ARC of Blue Sisters in exchange for an honest review.
Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky are the Blue sisters. They reunite in the apartment they grew up in in New York City one year after the death of the fourth Blue sister, Nicky.
Each sister has their own struggles. Avery, a successful lawyer and decades sober, is realizing she may not want the life she has. Bonnie, a national champion boxer, is looking for love. Lucky, a model since her teens, is living a jet-set life filled with alcohol and drugs.
Blue Sisters is drama filled. It also reflects the complexity of family and sisterhood, especially when it includes generational trauma and addiction. Each sisters is portrayed as multi-faceted; their demons and flaws are just as present as their gifts. This left me without a favorite character; I enjoyed bits of each sister.
