'Excited, afraid, homeless, fat, dying, but at least if we made that first step we had somewhere to go, we had a purpose. And we really didn't have anything better to do at half past three on a Thursday afternoon than to start a 630-mile walk.'

TrishB This book was like a horror story for me. Wild camping and wet socks…. 19h
Suet624 @TrishB oh, you‘re right! 18h
Leniverse @TrishB @Suet624 Yes, the walking part appeals to me, the camping part not so much! And I'm so upset about how they lost their farm! 17h

Strictly speaking, this is about fellwalking rather than #Hiking, but they‘re two sides of the same coin!

Rarely do I pick up a book amidst this much hype and love it this much, but this one is just that special.

A year after the death of their sister Nicky, the remaining Blue sisters try and find their way back to each other, and to themselves, amid the fog of grief, anger, and addiction. Their journeys, alone and together, are difficult and heart wrenching. But even in the darkest moments, it never feels exploitative.

TheKidUpstairs cont'd... In the hands of a lesser writer, some of the material covered could veer into “trauma porn“ but Mellors handles the darkness and the light with a deft touch. Each sister is beautifully, wholly rendered with genuine humanity. As a reader you want to, in turns, yell at them and hug them tight. This one will break your heart many times over (I cried more than once), but Mellors leaves us with a hopeful realism at the end.

Who else loves it when their car needs an oil change, because it means you have no choice but to sit and read for a while? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ I'm being productive AND reading! Yay!

P.S: so far, this book truly lives up to the hype.

The hype is real for this one! The Blue sisters have lost one of theirs — Nicky. The three who are left are each destroyed by the loss of their beloved sister. This book is about sibling relationships and responsibilities, sister love, and absent parents. It‘s about addiction and substance abuse. It‘s about coping with all life has to throw at you and facing it with the right people in your corner. I loved it and now have to read Mellors‘ debut.

IndianBookworm About to finish this one! 3w
BarbaraBB Glad it lives up to the hype! Still need to read it 3w
