LoveReading Says
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.

"A beautiful portrait of grief and the world-shaping bond sisters share."-Real Simple
A VOGUE AND HARPER'S BAZAAR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
The three Blue sisters are exceptional-and exceptionally different. Avery, the eldest and a recovering heroin addict turned strait-laced lawyer, lives with her wife in London; Bonnie, a former boxer, works as a bouncer in Los Angeles following a devastating defeat; and Lucky, the youngest, models in Paris while trying to outrun her hard-partying ways. They also had a fourth sister, Nicky, whose unexpected death left the family reeling. A year later, as they each navigate grief, addiction, and ambition, they find they must return to New York to stop the sale of the apartment they were raised in.
But coming home is never as easy as it seems. As the sisters reckon with the disappointments of their childhood and the loss of the only person who held them together, they realize that the greatest secrets they've been keeping might not have been from one another but from themselves.
Imbued with Coco Mellors's signature combination of humor and heart, Blue Sisters is a story of what it takes to keep living after loss-and, ultimately, to fall in love with life again.
