The Blue sisters have always been exceptional – and exceptionally different.
Avery, a strait-laced lawyer living in London, is the typical eldest daughter, though she’s hiding a secret that could undo her perfect life forever.
Bonnie was a boxer but, following a devastating defeat, she’s been working as a bouncer in LA – until a reckless act one night threatens to drive her out of the city.
And Lucky, the rebellious youngest, is a model in Paris whose hard-partying ways are finally catching up with her.
Then there was Nicky, the beloved fourth sister, whose unexpected death left Avery, Bonnie and Lucky reeling.
When, a year later, the three of them must reunite in New York to stop the sale of their childhood home, they find that it’s only by returning to each other that they can navigate their grief, addiction and heartbreak and learn to fall in love with life again.

Publisher Review
‘In Blue Sisters, grief is rendered with gorgeous particularity. Mellors writes about the special language endemic to family and troubles the idea of home’ Raven Leilani, New York Times bestselling author of Luster
Praise for Cleopatra and Frankenstein
‘Positively inhalable. I was intensely consumed by the world of Cleopatra and Frankenstein for a few happy days’ Evening Standard
‘New York at the start of the 21st century is captured with near-devotional lushness in this nostalgic debut. Mellors proves herself a poetic chronicler of inky gloom’ Observer
‘Friends who couldn’t get enough of Sally Rooney’s Conversations with Friends will fall head over heels for Coco Mellor’s debut novel’ ES Magazine
‘Recalls Hanya Yanagihara’s heart-tugging epic A Little Life, with its exploration of male friendship, masculinity, and trauma, although with rather more levity.” Sunday Times Style
‘A love story that is by turns devastating and funny. You won’t be able to put this book down’ The Sun
‘Coco Mellors sprightly, sophisticated novel opens like a quirky indie film. A stellar debut – smart, shrewd and deliciously melancholy’ Daily Express
‘Mellors has written a devastatingly human book, at turns sharp and tender, that marks her as the rare writer whose sentences are as beautiful as they are wise. An unforgettable read’ Sam Lansky, author of The Gilded Razor and Broken People
