This book had me gripped and tearing up since chapter one. It's a heartfelt and heartbreaking story about sisterhood, addiction, and grief. My chest felt heavy and my heart tight while reading because it tackles many painful topics and family issues, but I love books that make me feel this deeply. It’s sad, but also hopeful and sweet.

If you have sisters, have had parents struggle with alcoholism, have mommy issues, or if you or a sibling has struggled with addiction…this book will hit you harder than most. As an older sister who was parentified at a young age, I found Avery’s POV very compelling and it prompted some serious reflection within myself.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best books I’ve read this year. It reminded me of reading Hello Beautiful last year. The writing is spectacular. I will read anything that Coco Mellors puts out, but this one truly stole my heart.

Thank you Netgalley and Ballantine Books for the advance reader copy. This book is already out in the UK, but comes out in September 3rd in the U.S. Hope you love it as much as I did!
