Rose and Fern. Fern and Rose. Twin sisters and so it goes……
It seems that it has always been the two of them looking out for each other…well, Rose looks out for Fern. Rose is a married woman who wants to have a baby while Fern will happily tell you that she is a librarian – a quirky printer avoiding librarian. She also wants to help her sister have her heart’s desire and this is where things get interesting.
The novel is told from both Rose and Fern’s viewpoints. We also gain insight through journal/diary entries. They have always been there for each other, looking out for each other and will do anything for each other, right? They are good sisters, aren’t they? What would you do for your sister? Where do the boundaries lay?
Sally Hepworth has woven another juicy and interesting tale. Just when you think you know what is happening, she will stir the pot! Predictable? a tad, but oh, so enjoyable. This is a book where I am happy to throw predictable out the window because I like how the plot is unfolding. As we get to know each sister through her POV chapters, Hepworth shows us the personality and characteristics of the sisters, the dynamic of their relationship and perhaps sheds some light on who is the more reliable sister, or shall I say, “The Good Sister”.
This was a quick read that entertained with it is devious, delightful and diabolical fun. An engaging family drama high on the drama. With family like this…. well…. you get the picture.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
