Let me just tell y'all yet again how much I LOVE a Sally Hepworth thriller. The twists and turns are just so, so damn good. And just when you think you've got it all figured out? There is one more thing she's got up her sleeve. This one is about two sisters - one sister serves as the primary narrator, and the other tells her story through journal entries. It's both current and past happenings, and the way they weave together are just so great. 

I do want to know that I originally didn't read this given the pregnancy component of the story. Reading this now years later, I found that while a key plot point, the sister's relationship was the central focus.
