ARC review; thanks to NetGalley and Fourth Estate for the access to the ebook, and I'm sorry this is so late.
This was just soooo good! It's a character study, so don't expect any plot, but these characters will grip you. It's about 3 sisters grieving the loss of the 4th sister, who unexpectedly died. Her loss was tragic, and it wrecked each of the surviving sisters in their own way. It's not just about grief, it's also about family dysfunction, sisterly love, addiction, trauma and how we cope with it when we don't know what to do with it, and just being human. Every character is unique and distinctive. I really enjoyed learning about them and it was very sad to see how they were destroying their lives in different ways. Pain and fucking up are a part of life, though, and there's always a way through. Easy 5 stars!
