توضیحات
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.

I love a good character-driven novel with lots of drama. I also really enjoy books that explore the theme of grief. Combining those truths, I was certain I would love "Blue Sisters." But, sadly, it was a bit of a letdown. While the book is an interesting study on grieving, played out through how each of the Blue sisters approach the death of their fourth sister, all of the characters felt insufferable. The sisters POV rotates between the chapters, but no matter who was narrating, I just didn't care about the story. The emotion felt too forced.I probably should have DNF-ed this one around halfway, but I kept expecting the story to improve.Note: this book has a 4+ star rating on Storygraph, so it's likely just "me" not jiving with the novel.
