A review by thatbookbetchhh
Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

5.0

This book was horribly wonderful! The dual timeline was seamlessly integrated and not at all choppy, which allowed you to see what actions in their child book attributed to their dysfunctional adulthood. I several times screamed at the book for someone to care about the young characters which was both frustrating but also seems pretty true to real life in the foster system. If I was to recommend this to someone with the least words I would say it was “modern day ‘Annie’ but darker and set on a farm”.
