Three estranged siblings return to their family home in New York after their beloved sister's death in this unforgettable story of grief, identity, and the complexities of family. 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 Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky 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 the greatest secrets they've been keeping might not have been from each other, but from themselves.

    Holy shit!! I see myself in all of them! How?!

    I love this! Cries!
    At 90% mark, i was ready to hate the ending (it was heading towards a typical HEA plot) but it’s just way better!

    Flawed characters who in their realness are intensely likable, I was rooting for these sisters the entire time and felt very invested in their lives. The portrayal of intergenerational trauma and addiction traveling through families was convincing. Even characters like the parents who weren't given a focus chapter were nuanced and human. Beautiful writing presenting a multifaceted lens on sisterhood.
