Unfortunately, I didn't love Cleopatra and Frankenstein, but I wanted to give this author another go and was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed this! I loved her writing style and the storyline of this book. I enjoyed reading about the sisters and will definitely be reading her next novel.

I really enjoyed this book - not quite as good as Cleopatra and Frankenstein, but uncovering the secrets and different personalities of the sisters was a fulfilling reading experience.

I didn’t love Mellors’ first novel so I am glad to say I enjoyed this much more. It was an interesting insight into the relationship between siblings (as an only child I don’t have this experience!). I enjoyed seeing the sisters individual lives and how they wove in and out with a shared trauma. It was a maybe a little longer winded than I’d have liked but overall an enjoyable read

Coco Mellors has jet again managed to write a masterpiece. I was unable to put this book down. The story touched me in so many ways and truly shows what it is like to have siblings.

This was my first Coco Mellor's novel so I was expecting great things with all the hype around Cleopatra and Frankenstein and I wasn't disappointed. I loved the relationship between all of the Blue sisters and how we saw all of their individual lives and how they all came together and how this did unravel.

I was really gripped by the writing and was separately hoping for a happy ending for Avery, Bonnie and lucky and couldn't put the book down until I knew what would happen to them all; loved it.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review.

Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors feels like a misguided attempt to speak to demographics the author has little understanding of. The portrayal of minority groups comes across as stereotypical and shallow, offering harmful representations that lack depth or authenticity. Instead of building nuanced, diverse characters, Mellors relies on surface-level tropes that feel offensive and alienating. It’s clear the author is trying to be inclusive, but it ultimately misses the mark in a way that’s more harmful than enlightening.

This was a beautifully emotional book. As both a sister and a woman, this book was absolutely gorgeous. Each character was flawed, personal and real. I loved the storyline, the element of having to discover things and figure out the dynamics of the family. There were some beautiful details and I tore through this book. It had me crying from four pages in and has been a book I recommend to everybody.

Thank you for my cop of this, I took a little longer to read than normal, but what a read. Definitely a top read of the year for me.

This was an absolutely beautiful, intense book. Coco Mellors has such an insightful way of looking at interpersonal relationships, she really digs into the close bond between siblings which was a real treat to read.

auch das zweite buch von coco mellors war toll. eine geschwisterbeziehung so im fokus der hadnlung zu haben, gibt es selten. wirklich gut

Literally one of my favourite books of all time. I reread this for the second time and it’s once again blown me away.
Mellor’s debut, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, was a stand out and I didn’t think the author could out-write herself. This is truly a remarkable book.
Even knowing the plot on my second-time reading it, I was still hooked and in tears. I implore people to read this book that I’m sure I’ll still be recommended in 50 years time!

Coco Mellors seems to be getting stronger with each book - I enjoyed this now than Cleopatra and Frankenstein which seemed to lose steam in the second half of the book. This was very poignant and emotional, a beautiful book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this!

A really good book that was fantastically written! I was so fully immersed in the story and didn’t want to put it down

I adored this book. The settings and the characters were fantastic. I felt a real connection to the sisters, having a sister myself, and I wanted them to succeed. I loved Cleo and Frank so I had high hopes for this. It didn’t disappoint!

A beautiful, sentimental portrait of sisterhood. Coco Mellors is a rare talent and I will always purchase her books.

So beautifully written. Emotional, great characters and just amazing. Loved this story and will definitely recommend it to everyone.

A very great book by Coco Mellors. I had to put it down once or twice to reflect on what she wrote just because it is a very emotional book. But I’m very glad I read it and will definitely recommend it!

Hard to say if this was enjoyable as such as it gets pretty heavy, but I'm glad that I read it and will be recommending. A good family drama with all the ups and downs of the various Blue sisters.

Another incredibly beautiful book by coco mellors. The book was so incredibly raw and tender yet sometimes it felt like a sharp punch to the gut.
Mellors did a wonderful job at portraying the four sisters, each with their own flaws and troubles and how their stories intertwine and overlap with one another. The dichotomy between the different perspectives really gave me a love hate relationship with the sisters haha. Overall Blue Sisters is a great coming of age story (I enjoyed it more than C&F) that really leaves you feeling empty after ! Thank you to net galley for this arc.

A realistic look at grief, addiction and the way families can hurt and heal each other. The visceral closeness of sibling relationships is very tightly drawn and although the characters‘ lives at some times seem to be pushing the boundaries of what can be possible within one family, i thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience. Thanks NetGalley!
