Oof, this one was a struggle for me. I really enjoyed certain elements of the storytelling. I appreciated the care with which Hepworth presents the differing interpretations of the sister who is on the spectrum. It's a decent thriller that keeps you guessing, but it loses half a star from me for misinformation of Type 1 diabetes. Don't talk about the side effects of high blood sugar if you're not going to get it right. *shrug* (CW for coercion, manipulation, drug abuse, m*rder, S.A.)
