You know the feeling of finding and reading a book so good you could cry? So good that you already planning to re-read them in the future. That's exactly how I feel with this book, Blue Sisters. I relate to this book so much and I think it's the first time read a book that perfectly describes the complexities of siblings dynamic -- specifically between sisters.
I usually found myself loving a book that I can relate to, and this book - which follows 3 sisters Avery Bonnie and Lucky navigating through grief after losing their sister Nicky, spoke to me. I immediately knew I wanted to read this book after knowing this fact, as I have 3 other sisters myself.
And true enough, their story hits too close to home. There are so many parts of the book that I love. One, would be how much I see my own sisters in these characters, and how much of myself I see in them too. How it wonderfully paints the wonder of growing up with sisters. I saw "Zurin Sisters" (as what my aunts call us) in them. People would ask me how it's like having only sisters and I always say I love it but it's actually so much deeper than that. How could I even begin to explain?
It's a special and magical thing, to be related by blood and be bonded by something beyond that. We grew up together, have found friendship within each other even before we learn to have it with anyone else, we lean on each other before no one else (now more than ever), we back each other up. Though it's been so long since we last fight, but we can critique and condemn. Be against each other for a change but never for long. Because we know, we're weak when we're apart. Only strong when we have each other.
So if you have sisters, I highly encourage you to read this book. There's comfort in this book even though the whole story is not as light. It's quite emotional at some parts but still, I love it.
