Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth
4.0

Well written and intriguing. I loved the relationship between the 3 sisters and how they had each others’ backs no matter what. The repercussions of mental/emotional abuse once in adulthood I thought was very well portrayed and described, but the fact that they had this forever connection I thought was so important and vital to their survival.

While much of the foster situation was intentionally disturbing, it was very well written and really well done. Miss Fairchild was a fantastic villain - I couldn’t stand her her which was the whole point. Each situation felt realistic and had me wanting to know what was going to happen next. I wouldn’t say it was super thriller-ish but it did have some good mystery and great character development. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy do this book. All opinions are mine.
