The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth

5.0

Fern and Rose are twin sisters and are very different. Rose is the responsible one, with a home, a husband and a fierce desire to become a mother. Fern is the quirky one, a librarian who avoids social interaction and whom the world might just describe as truly odd. The sisters are devoted to one another and Rose has always been Fern’s protector even from a young age. Years ago, Fern did something very bad and Rose never told a soul. When Fern decides to help her sister achieve her dream of having a baby, things between the sisters start to change. This book is about the ties that bind sisters together and the secrets that are hidden underneath the bond.


Sally Hepworth has done it again!! I was hooked on this book and couldn’t stop listening. I feel with all her books, she knows how to develop the characters and you genuinely wanted the best for them; well with this book just one of the sisters. The book was told with alternating character chapters which I enjoyed and really got to know how the other felt. I loved Fern and Wally, they have a ‘Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine’ vibe and made me feel all happy inside. I was so pleased of how one of the characters seemed to grow within themselves as the book developed. It was fast paced with many twists, at points I was nervous about going into the next chapter. A twisty ending and of course I cried at the end. 5 HUGE STARS
