review:
“...and Bonnie understood that sometimes cheesecake was just cheesecake, and let the breeze die.”
blue sisters is a book unlike any other i've read this year—perhaps unlike any other i've ever read. the story is first and foremost about grief and sisterhood, but deep down it's also a love story.
i knew i was going to enjoy this right from the first paragraph, but i didn't realise just how much i would enjoy it—how i would practically be possessed by the gorgeous writing and the characters that feel so real and tangible.
the blue sisters—even nicky who's never alive in the book—capture your heart so much so that you forget they're just characters on a page. coco mellors made me feel, for brief fleeting moments, what it's like to have sisters, despite me being an only child. and that, i think, was genuinely why the experience was so magical.
very much looking forward to reading cleopatra and frankenstein now!!
