#BookReview: Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors @4thEstateBooks @IndieThinking #BlueSisters #CocoMellors

Book Synopsis:

The Blue sisters have always been exceptional – and exceptionally different.

Avery, a strait-laced lawyer living in London, is the typical eldest daughter, though she’s hiding a secret that could undo her perfect life forever.

Bonnie was a boxer but, following a devastating defeat, she’s been working as a bouncer in LA – until a reckless act one night threatens to drive her out of the city.

And Lucky, the rebellious youngest, is a model in Paris whose hard-partying ways are finally catching up with her.

Then there was Nicky, the beloved fourth sister, whose unexpected death left Avery, Bonnie and Lucky reeling.

When, a year later, the three of them must reunite in New York to stop the sale of their childhood home, they find that it’s only by returning to each other that they can navigate their grief, addiction and heartbreak and learn to fall in love with life again.

My Review:

Blue Sisters is a beautifully written, emotional but heartwarming read that will definitely be staying with me.

The story is told from the point of view of three sisters who are struggling in the aftermath of the death of their beloved sister Nicky. It was very poignant to follow each sister as the reader witnesses how much they were struggling and how much everything had changed because of it. I enjoyed following the sisters as they try to come to terms with her death and start to make positive changes to their lives. It was so lovely to see them grow closer together again and try to work on their relationships.

I thought this book had a great pace to it but even when there wasn’t much happening I was just enjoying hanging out with the fabulous sisters. There’s some quite serious subjects discussed in the book which I found interesting to follow and I especially loved the message to remember to take care of yourself too. The ending was lovely and it was great to see how far everyone had come. My only complaint is that I wish the book had been a tad longer as I’d have loved to hang out with the sister more and find out what happened next.

Huge thanks to Indie Thinking for sending me a copy of this book.
