This was a predictable read but predictability didn’t make it any less thrilling, though not in a pleasant way. In fact, it caused me too much distress. Please check the trigger warnings.

Loved the pacing of this, and the way the author uses the unreliable narrator trope. We hear from Fern directly, while Rose’s perspective comes via her journal which she is keeping at the behest of her therapist. Ever so slowly discrepancies start to arise between the accounts of the two sisters, forcing the reader to question their suppositions, and which if either sister they can believe. There were enough twists to keep me interested but not so many as to be unbelievable or for me to feel manipulated. A great escapist read.
