There was no savoring of this book. Reading was an absolute compulsion. MUST READ. Cannot put the book down!!!
I was immediately draw in by dear, quirky Fern. Hepworth brilliantly created a non-neurotypical character that resonates and charms. Her inner dialogue often made me giggle while also revealing battles I never face as a neurotypical person. Hepworth has done a beautiful job of giving a voice to people with sensory issues. And if I didn’t love Fern enough, in walks Wally. Be still my heart!
Wally and Fern are reason enough to read this book. But if you need more reasons.... This is a book about overcoming. A book about realizing just how strong and capable you really are. A book about how emotion can taint perception. A book about sisterhood and family. A book about control and master manipulators. A book about finding (and trusting) your voice. And ultimately, a book about the power of love.
Can a book be both endearing and disconcerting? Based on my experience with The Good Sister, I’d say yes!
Many thanks to Sally Hepworth, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
