3.5

This is more of a 3.5. It’s an open ended story, but I don’t think a sequel would be very good. I appreciate a story about a woman of neurodiversity. She was well-portrayed and represented. I also liked the various perspectives given from each character’s point of view. I guess the Wally character was a bit weak for me. Both the mother and her boss needed more development as well.

4.5

I truly love reading Sally Hepworth. She delivers thriller-lite dramas like no-one else, and The Good Sister follows suit.

Two sisters, one neurotypical and one who has sensory problems. Who’s perspective can we rely on?

Honestly, I won’t give much more detail as to avoid any spoilers but this was a great read. Sucked me in, and kept me turning pages every step of the way.
