'IT MOVED ME DEEPLY' LIV LITTLE

'DEEPLY POIGNANT' HARPERS BAZAAR

'GORGEOUS' RAVEN LEILANI

'It will make you laugh, cry deeply, and want to call your siblings’ Cosmopolitan

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.

Critic Reviews

'The story of Avery, Bonnie, Nicky and Lucky is a healing balm to lost souls. Blue Sisters will unearth tenderness and heartache from spectacular depths within you, giving new dimensions to the word blue.' Xochitl Gonzalez, author of Olga Dies Dreaming

'I never imagined a novel about grief could leave me feeling so warm. Coco Mellors has crafted a richly textured tale of love, loss, and addiction in all its complexities. When I made it to the final page, I had tears in my eyes. I will be thinking about the Blue sisters for a long time.' Isabel Kaplan author of NSFW

Read a hard copy instead

Beautiful writing, however it took me months to get through it because of the narration. Wasn’t right for the book.

Love the different viewpoints

The story is great. Four very different sisters and how they interact is described wonderfully, and the way the remaining sisters cope makes for a great story.
I only got part way through the audiobook before having to revert to the print version as I found the cadence of the reader really distracting and, frankly, annoying, frequently taking me out of the story.

Wrong choice of narrator

A beautiful story, but the narration is hard to listen to. The narrators performance just isn’t right for this book.

A beautiful story

Great story, interesting narrator. Love and family is portrayed beautifully, alongside the vulnerabilities of navigating life and intimate relationships. Great to listen before bed

Loved it from the prologue!

Exceptionally written, Mellors captures the love of sisters and the pain of grief so artfully; completely pulling you in to the lives of the Blue sisters who while all very different to each other are all very relatable in some way. I can’t wait to read more of Mellors work.

Engaging and revealing

This is a story of sisterhood with layers of pain and addictive ways of dealing with it. I found this book had many layers which added to it complexity and nature . A good read

Compelling story

I was really invested in the sisters journeys.
The audio was awkward. Improved by speeding it up but at the start of every sentence it was like the narrator was gasping.
