Avery, Bonnie, Nicky and Lucky are the Blue sisters. It is a year after Nicky’s death. Avery is a successful lawyer in London, Bonnie is a noted prize fighter and Lucky is a fairly famous fashion model. On paper it all seems like they are leading very satisfying lives, but in reality each of them is desperately trying to come to terms with who they are and why Nicky is no longer with them. Despite their pain and flaws, they love each other almost unconditionally.

Coco Mellors’ second novel is an okay read, but not one I would recommend. The sisters’ woes-drugs, alcohol, shoplifting, unrequited love-got a bit tedious and tiresome. I rarely say this, but Blue Sisters would have been a better read if it was a hundred pages shorter.
