The Good Sister: A Novel

Sally Hepworth does it again in this oh-so-satisfying psychological thriller about twin sisters who couldn’t be more different from one another.

All her life, Rose has tried to protect Fern. Fern has always been a little bit different from the other kids in the way she thinks and does things. But there are secrets their family hides and, as the two girls grow up, those secrets are finally revealed, leading to something that is so unexpected you’ll never guess the ending. The chapters alternate points of view from the main characters, and partway through reading, it is clear that one of the characters is unreliable. But which one?

The Good Sister is a fantastic read featuring some very interesting characters, including Fern’s “boyfriend,” who turns out to not be what he seems. I had a hard time putting this book down. This is not the first book by Hepworth I have read and I have enjoyed each one of her books so far. I’m looking forward to the next one!
