I bought the Kindle edition of this book on a whim upon seeing that it was on sale. I haven’t heard of Sally Hepworth before (this is a lapse on my part). I was very much surprised by this book. Initially, I thought it was a predictable story, but it surprised to me through and through to the end.
The story was so well thought out. The sisters really warmed my heart and seeing them grow out of their trauma bit by bit towards the end legit made me cry. I liked that despite it being a domestic thriller, the characters were written with care. Reading the acknowledgement part was equally heart touching.
I’m so excited to read her other books.
