pickRarely 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.

pickAudiobook ☑️. A very funny listen 😊 📖 🎧
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.
pickThe 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.
She was NOT. Dude, really?! 🫢 Must be a very old family name.Wouldn't see anyone choosing that today...
pickSo Stuart lives with Gillian and he has a best friend Oliver (née Nigel). Stuart is a banker and makes money, Oliver is clever and doesn‘t. Oliver is really not as clever as he thinks he is. Anyway it‘s a story of jealously and betrayal told from their points of view, with a few others thrown in for good measure. I thought when I ‘reread‘ that I knew the story but I was pleasantly surprised by how surprised I was by it.
so-soBook no 1 from my #10beforetheend picks.
This was gearing up to be a pick but I found a couple of the latter chapters sketchy and sadly lacking. Still enjoyed the earlier chapters on media moguls which is clearly where O'Brien has the most knowledge and experience
