Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth
4.0
dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: Complicated

Wowza, I think this is Sally Hepworth's darkest story. I haven't read everything she has written but have read quite a few of hers The content of Darling Girls is definitely not for the faint of heart. Even with all of the trigger warnings, this story was very propulsive and that feeling started at the very beginning of the book. Hepworth writes suspense really well with characters you want to figure out. If you have read and loved her books in the past and can handle more toxicity in the storyline and characters, I think you will enjoy this one too.. If you're looking at Darling Girls being your first by the author, I urge you to tread lightly and explore her backlist!

Darling Girls is out April 23rd! Thank you St. Martin's Press and Netgalley or my e-arc!

Content warnings: verbal, physical, sexual and emotional abuse; all the negatives of foster care; neglect; malnutrition; death of a child; and likely more I am forgetting at the moment!!
