hannahclaire7 's review for:
The Younger Wife
by Sally Hepworth
What started as a family-matter book soon turned dark, but in the best way possible.
Sally Hepworth writes a great story about a family with a twisted history, secrets galore, and hope for a new future. I really enjoyed the characters in this book and how they all hold complex traits. There is so much humanity within each character that allows the reader to feel connected and seen.
I appreciated how the main characters were not unphased by childhood trauma - it was more realistic that each daughter had a small complex that they did not realize. I also appreciated how the inner workings of each character were revealed in waves, keeping the reader invested.
The book is not too dark or dreary. There are elements of romance, reflection, friendship, and reconnection that make the book meaningful.
I highly suggest this book to anyone who likes an easy read that takes a little bit of thinking, has a bit of a dark turn, and ends better than you would expect.
