This is a wonderful story and a different take on a psychological thriller for me. Fern is a very quirky main character and I love her uniqueness. She has sensory processing disorder and has been told by her sister for most of her life that she isn't capable. Rose is her fraternal twin that has been looking out for her for a long time. They come from a past filled with instability and emotional abuse.
Fern decides she wants to have a baby for her sister because she has premature ovary aging syndrome. Fern works in the library and finds an interesting American that she takes a fancy to. She starts tracking her cycles and manages to get pregnant. Rose quickly steps in telling Fern that she isn't going to be a capable mother because she forgets too many things and has done horrible things in her past.
As the story progresses, things turn out to be different than they are perceived to be. Who is the good sister and who is the sister hiding all the dark secrets???
This was a wonderful book that I didn't want to end!

The Good Sister is a book that I was so excited to read because the author, Sally Hepworth, sent me an advanced copy.
She saw this post on Instagram and sent me an unofficial copy all the way from Australia.
Just like her others, this one does not disappoint.
In fact, I like it more than her others.
