Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY • Three estranged siblings return to their family home in New York after their beloved sister’s death in this “deeply nuanced and compelling” (Vogue) novel, from the acclaimed author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein.
“A beautiful portrait of grief and the world-shaping bond sisters share.”—Real Simple
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.
Customer Reviews
Average book annoying narrator.
This could have been a great book about family and sisters. Hardships, heartbreak, healing, redemption, etc. Instead, it dragged on way too much in the middle to get to the end. The ending was decent! But the middle - not great. The narrator of the audiobook drove me crazy.
Audio narrator painful to listen to
The narrator for the audio book is so bad that it’s painful to listen to this. I don’t think I can finish it. I get why they hired her because she’s good at French voices but she’s horrible at everything else. It’s the worst audiobook I’ve ever listened to- just pay extra and get Julia whelan
