Well thank you Sally Hepworth for getting me out of my reading slump. What a tale this is indeed! Fern is such a fascinating character and I enjoyed her so much as a character. Wally/Rocco is also pretty cool as the side character but man oh man... Rose. Just the way this story flew was pretty darn good. The only gripe I had was that ending seemed super rush AND the whole mystery man. This is definitely worth the read!

Fern and Rose are twins they don‘t look alike and certainly have different personalities, one is quirky and the other more considered. They live together with their mother and her on-off boyfriends.
Both of them have varying opinions on occurrences and they are keeping a horrible secret. Which version can we trust?
In adulthood it turns out that Rose is not able to get pregnant. So her sister decides that she will find herself a man, surprise her with her pregnancy and give the baby to her. But soon Fern starts to feel love towards the baby and is not so sure anymore, if she give her one and only to her sister. Furthermore the past is catching up with them and nothing is like it seems.

Sally Hepworth is getting better and better with each book

Entertaining

This book didn’t turn out to be the dark story that I expected, but I enjoyed it. I absolutely loved Fern. She was quirky and straightforward like Strange Sally Diamond. I loved how she viewed the world. Her interactions with Wally were so sweet. I really enjoyed the evolution of their courtship. Her relationship with her sister seemed very loving at first. As the truth came out, I wanted to protect Fern from Rose. While it didn’t feel like much of a plot twist to me, I did enjoy seeing Rose’s mask slip off. She was a hot mess. This was a quick and entertaining read.
