The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth
3.5
Feeling myself falling into a reading slump I eagerly opted to pick up a Sally Hepworth. It didn't hit the spot as well as it usually does but it has been just the book I needed to cleanse and reinvigorate my reading palette.
Here's what I liked about it:
+Love a book that shows a glimpse into the life of a librarian, I always find stories about twins fascinating too.
+Learnt more about neuro-diverse people, by reading the perspective of someone with sensory processing issues. I love reading to build my understanding of others in the world.
+Enjoyed the blend of POV through narrative (Fern) and diary entry (Rose). Made the book a quicker read.
+Relationship with Wally was a sweet, and unexpected addition.
Here's what I didn't like:
-It took me a little while longer than usual to get into the groove of this book, I find I'm usually instantly hooked by Sally Hepworth's books. I think it took me a good 30% before I was super interested
-Picked the major twist very early without much effort, so I think that spoils some of the fun
Similar to The Rosie Project and Elinor Oliphant is Completely fine.
