Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group and Ballantine Books for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This is the second book I have read by Coco Mellors, and once again, I am not disappointed.
The Blue Sisters, all unique in their own way. Raised in a home where the eldest sibling is more of the mother than the actual mother. The father is a violent alcoholic. Now the story is told from present day, and the sister Nicky has passed away.
This story really hits home for me. I too grew up in a less than ideal home environment, and I have 5 siblings. My siblings and I have dealt with tragic loss much like the sisters in the story. The sisters constantly questioning what could they have done differently made me cry. The grief in this book was really moving.
The end also had me in tears. After everything that happened, it was a wonderful way to close out then story.
