Blue Sisters Paperback – 23 May 2024

Amazing read

Coco Mellors’ Blue Sisters is an emotional exploration of sisterhood and grief. It also throws a light on how the characters in the story navigate the weight of their dysfunctional family dynamics. It’s a raw and poignant novel that delves into the fractured lives of three sisters (Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky) who are brought back together on the first anniversary of their sister Nicky’s death.The narrative weaves through the lives of these women, each battling their own demons in the aftermath of the loss of their beloved sister. Avery, the eldest, has rebuilt herself after addiction and homelessness, carving out a successful life as a lawyer. Bonnie, once a promising boxer, has turned to a life of physical endurance and pain to cope with the emotional scars of her past. And Lucky, the youngest, is drowning in the chaos of her own self-destruction, numbing herself with substances as she struggles to find meaning.As they reunite in New York to confront not only their shared grief but also their toxic parents, their long-buried emotions and secrets begin to surface. What unfolds is a beautifully painful exploration of loss, identity, and the ways in which love can both wound and heal. I think this is what makes this novel a touch above the rest in its genre, it opens up the layers of the siblings' relationship with themselves as they try to make sense of their lives after their loss. In the wake, they also make peace with their past and Avery, who has had to deal with a lost childhood, in the process, manages to forgive her parents and offload the baggage of abandonment.The author's writing is evocative and captures the raw ache of sibling bonds, the desperation to belong, and the messy ways in which we attempt to mend what’s broken. The sisters’ journey is devastating yet hopeful, making it a novel that lingers in your heart long after the last page.

An awesome read I like that the genre was similar to coming of age n honestly I wanted to read more books revolving around sisters. If you enjoyed little women and pride and prejudice sense and sensibility then you would def loath this book. P.S. The quality of the book was great

Received the book in perfect condition and the book was also amazing with beautiful story of 4 sisters and their dynamics and their struggle through grief. Highly recommend.Thanks Amazon for this one

A very emotional subject. Those with sisters will relate to it a whole lot.
