The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth
4.0

Captivating | Twisty | Dramatic

I read this in one day. I just couldn’t stop! This is such a well-paced book and I couldn’t wait to see what happened at the end. There is so much under the surface of this book, and I love the well-crafted neurodivergent characters.

Rose and Fern are twins who have always been close. Fern has a sensory processing disorder and struggles to understand social cues, and Rose takes it upon herself to act as her protector. As children, Rose clues Fern into their mother’s sociopathic tendencies and creates a secret pact to cover up one night’s bad turn of events. As adults, Rose helps Fern navigate life and make decisions that will be to her best interest. But as Fern forms new relationships becomes more self-aware of herself and her place in the world, secrets start bubbling to the surface... and you’ll just have to read to find out more!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the advanced copy!
