"Once you get to my age, you will learn that you can take a lot of wrong turns and still end up in the right place." 
 
I loved the author's eye for intense detail in each sister's storyโ€”they came to life with every page I read, and I started to think of them as very real, very flawed people. I was instantly enamored with Lucky's story, but I enjoyed Bonnie's the most. 
 
But Blue Sisters was not for me. The same attention to detail I loved initially became tedious and challenging to follow. The most mundane moments were drawn out of pages, and I never felt like anything happened until the last 20 percent of the book. I struggled with the choices each sister made. 
 
 
Audiobook Review: โ˜†โ˜† 
I chose to read and listen to Blue Sisters, and I do not recommend the audiobook. The cadence that the narrator, Kit Griffiths, used ruined the story. I actually thought that they may have chosen to use an AI voice for the book. I constantly had to readjust the narration speed because Griffiths couldn't keep a steady paceโ€”I couldn't imagine being behind someone on the highway who doesn't understand how to use cruise control. 
 
Read if you enjoy:

๐ŸŽญ Family dramas 
 
I recommend reading Blue Sisters if you enjoyed reading Hello, Beautiful.
