Blue Sisters | Coco Mellors

2-7-25: My 11th book of 2025! The Blue sisters started out as a foursome, Avery the lawyer, Bonnie the boxer, Lucky the model and the youngest Nicky. After the loss of one, the other three must come to terms with their grief both separately and together. When their parents decide it is time to sell their NYC apartment, the sisters must come together to empty the place and say goodbye to their lost sister. Moving, sad, uplifting.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣1️⃣1️⃣

Three sisters are drawn together around the first anniversary of the death of their fourth sister. They are all in various states of emotional disrepair, having struggled unsuccessfully to manage their grief. Their reunion is complicated by the unresolved wreckage of an unstable childhood. It‘s a compulsively readable book. Much of the sisterly connection lands true, but there were times it felt a bit contrived.The ending tied up a tad too neatly.

Good read especially if you have a sister. We all have our demons to deal with. Four sisters, one is gone. Good read. Mothers try their hardest.

1/3 of the way in and I kept asking myself why am I reading a book about four sisters who do not at all seem real. Lots of people and Jenna loved this book, but I gave up. Maybe it was going to get better? If the characters can‘t come alive for me, I‘m just not interested. Farewell Blue Sisters.

Lesliereadsalot @TheBookHippie @dabbe Is it asking too much for the characters to be a little interesting? 🤔 1w

Started yesterday and finished today. I loved this book. It underscores the bittersweet nature of sisterhood and it feels authentic.

A very blue library haul. I cannot for the life of me remember who or what had me request the tagged book! But I guess we will see how it goes.

Everyone seems to hate Extinction of Irena Rey so I thought I would give it a try 😂 I feel I enjoyed her last book more than others and I love to be a contrarian

I read about Vanishing Treasures in my research for possible Women's Prize nonfiction books. Not sure if essays count there

squirrelbrain Yes, I saw Vanishing Treasures on a WP list too. 2w
Ruthiella I‘m also often curious about books that elicit such strong reactions! 😅 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain I am curious if it qualifies, but then the rules for NF are hard to pin down (I feel) I don't see anything against essay collections. 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures @Ruthiella I need to know what all the fuss is!! I often read these much hated and sort of shrug they are usually "not that bad" to me. 2w

The Ringer | Edgar Wallace

This is the radio drama version of the German parody of The Ringer by Edgar Wallace. The movie made gun of the weird villains Wallace used and was quite funny. For the radio drama they even the sounds of the movie and gave it a voiceover of the main character. I liked it.

Jari-chan I watched the movie several times back then. Hilarious 😂 2w
