Unputdownable. Sally Hepworth is a captivating writer, her characters stuck with me the longer I read this book. Siblings are everything, until they aren’t. 5/5

So plain. Better categorized as a romance.
How did this book get such a high rating I wonder. Every single character is obnoxious, to say the least. I guess it's supposed to be a twist, but the manipulate-in-the-name-of-love is a plotline as old as time.
Also, don't be the guy who does not use a condom (not even for disease control purposes), puts the birth control obligation purely on their partner, and gives an overly-rational speech of why they do not want a child.
I'm going to guess that

mom did not overdose on her own, Rose probably had a hand in that. Owen is probably not in the picture anymore. Not sure about Billy's death but we will see.shanebh's review against another edition

Loved the premise of this and I even enjoyed the book quite a bit until about 90% in. It’s like when I needed it to pump up the jams thriller style at the end it couldn’t give me what I needed it to.

I really enjoyed this story. I would not say it was a Thriller but more a family drama with a little mystery that comes together at the end of the book. I really loved the character development especially Fern and Wally's.
