well. one of my most anticipated books of the year, from the author of one of the most exciting debuts in recent years, is about my favorite topic (sisters) has the prettiest cover i’ve ever seen in my life (look at it) and is now in my possession.

i’m not sure what happens now but it might be spontaneous combustion.

Blue Sisters tells the story of 3 estranged sisters trying to navigate their complex relationships and personal lives in the wake of their sister’s death.

Made clear by the title, the core of this novel is just about the unique bond that sisters share. As I was reading this book, I was reminded of a tweet along the lines of ‘you won’t let your sister borrow your clothes, but you’d give them a kidney in a heartbeat’ - which I think just sums up sisterhood perfectly.

Though heavy in subject matter, Blue Sisters makes for a a somewhat ‘fun’ read as it switches between the cities of Paris, London, New York, and L.A., plunging you into a new location as each sister desperately tries to find a sense of home again after their sister’s death.

Mellors doesn’t shy away from discussing the difficult aspects of life, exploring grief and how it manifests differently in each person, especially through the different coping mechanisms of each sister. The novel also largely focuses on addiction, and the determination to break the cycle of addiction within a family.

Blue Sisters has a lot of heart and emotional tenderness, and will relate to anyone who has sisters (I also have 3 so the relatability was high for me). It’s about letting go, moving on, and learning how to live again.

Thank you 4th Estate Books for the arc copy! Blue Sisters is out in the UK on 23 May
