4.5

At surface level, this is a book is a love letter to sisters but when you dig deeper you find that it’s also about grief, addiction and the lingering effects of how our families shape us (both good and bad). 
This has some of the most beautiful, painful & reflective proses. Mellors is a phenomenal writer who captured the essence & dialogue of how sisters are with each other. I’m excited to see more from her.

The alternating perspective of the chapters was interrupting to me. Which may have contributed to how long it took me to finish this. However, no chapter was wasteful. Each character was grounded and felt real. 

I’d recommend this book to those who enjoyed Writers and lovers by Lily King, have/are sisters and want to cry (!!!).

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, for an eArc in exchange for an honest review.
