"A dazzling book about loss, grief, addiction and sisterhood. Oh the sisterhood. A star of stars."
My first of Coco Mellors but it definitely won't be the last, I'll be diving into her debut Cleopatra and Frankenstein too, that's for sure. I love the way she writes. The way she so beautifully crafts the story, the relationships. With such poignance. I was hooked from the first pages and didn't want to let it go. I didn't want to let the sisters go. Every exceptional thing. Every broken thing.
Avery, the oldest. A recovering addict and successful lawyer living in Hampstead.
Bonnie, the champion boxer hiding in LA after a disastrous fight.
Lucky, the famous supermodel living in Paris but flitting around the world from shoot to shoot.
Separated since they lost one of their four, it's been a tough year for the family. Their family, which is the root of all comfort and chaos. Aren't they all?
Chapter by chapter we move from sister to sister, walking in their shoes, hearing their stories, following their journey since. A disastrous jumble of recrimination, addiction and denial.
As they find their way back, through the mire of grief, you are filled with hope for the future, hope for the family. And a new day dawns for the Blue sisters.
