Oh wow, this was a good read. The author did a great job with charcter development, especially Fern! I adored her. The alternating viewpoints worked well in this book. I was definitely blown away by the ending.

Loved this one! A slow burn, family drama with great characters and a well developed story. All boxes checked. This is at the top of my list for sure!

A twisty story about two sisters who think they know each other. With alternating perspectives and short chapters, this was one I flew through. The final plot twist was a major creep factor, and left me wondering, "WTF". I really enjoyed the audio of this one too.

4.5 stars. Such a great book. Fern snd Rose are twin sisters. From the beginning you know they hold a secret and yet I wasn’t sure who was the good sister snd who wasn’t quite right. The clues were subtle and kept me curious. Sally Hepworth doesn’t disappoint yet again.

Enjoyable thriller that got super twisty! left you questioning the truth. I love Sally Hepsworth, and this didn't disappoint

Thank you to the publisher for my review copy. All opinions are my own.

Why do I wait so long on Sally Hepworth? This book has been sitting on my shelf for an embarrassingly long time and I loved every single minute of it. Per usual with Sally.

I loved that Sally brought us a character on the spectrum. As a mom of a son on the spectrum, it is always fascinating to read from their point of view. Now, let's talk about the story.

This is a family drama story with a little sprinkling of an unreliable narrator. Both of them, as it is the story of two twin sisters. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was going on...or more clearly what was amis. The story had me completely invested and I couldn't put it down. I needed to know what was up.

Luckily it wrapped up well. I had all my questions answered and felt really good about leaving these characters behind. You know what I mean....that is not always the case.

If you like family drama with a little bit of what the actual hell is going on here....Pick this one up.

THe Good Sister is the first book i have read by Sally Hepworth and i thoroughly enjoyed it!! It was a great read and i cannot wait to read more books of Sally's,

E-book provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a review.

The Good Sister is a story told through alternate points of view of fraternal twin sisters. Rose and Fern are inseparable and depend on each other. Rose takes on the caretaker role and helps manage Fern's sensory issues. The psychological twists and turns kept me interested enough to finish the book in a couple of days.

Quick, fast paced. I adore Hepworth's books. The twists and turns are not predictable and they're bingeworthy. Loved this book!

The Good Sister follows sisters Fern and Rose, who have shared the same traumatic childhood. They are twins, but extremely different. Rose is an interior designer, and Fern's protector. Fern works at the library, and is sensitive to certain lights and sounds. Told partially through Rose's diary, you learn that the two had a painful upbringing with a mother who had sociopathic tendencies. The diary tells us about a something that Fern did, that Rose helped cover up. But the two sisters' lives are so intertwined that is difficult for them to detach and realize that the past is not what it seems.

I am a huge Sally Hepworth fan. I very much enjoyed this book, and as usual, Sally is wonderful at capturing family dynamics within a suspenseful thriller. Her characters are always so authentic, and she depicted Fern in a way that was natural but also true to the characters' self. Although this was not my favorite Sally Hepworth novel, I would still highly recommend this one. I had a little trouble getting into it with the past and present POVs for some reason, and after a slow start I just wasn't as hooked as normal. This is nothing about the book or writing, I think this was more of my own preferance.

The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth is a slow-burn, atmospheric thriller about two sisters with a relationship that isn’t quite what it seems.

This is my second read from Sally Hepworth, and I cannot believe it took me so long to get to! I was immediately interested in what was going on between Fern and Rose, and I wasn’t quite sure who to trust. The twists and turns throughout this book were so unexpected, and there were times when my mouth dropped open. Thrillers don’t generally make me emotional, but I teared up multiple times while reading The Good Sister, and I think that says a lot about the quality of it.

Content warning for drowning, murder, manipulation, overdose.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth!

What a page tuner! Overall obsessed with this book! This book definitely made me lose sleep because I could NOT put it down! The characters are amazing and overall fascinating. This author is definitely on my list to read in the future!

This book was portrayed as a thriller and I have to say that was false. The book is good, writing is incredible and the story is worth following. But there was nothing thrilling about this novel. It was a very good family/domestic drama.

I really like how this one went, I did take my time to read it as this genre is not my favorite, but all in all a good book.

I have been a fan of Sally Hepworth for sometime now.
The Good Sister was only a 3 star read for me.
I could never get with the dynamics between Rose and Fern.
Though it was a decent read, this one just did not do it for me.
Thanks, NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the E book Arc.

I think Sally Hepworth has a unique style and I really like it! I haven’t read anything else like it that I can compare it to. The Mother in Law was great so I was excited to read her latest book. This book is full of tension and chapter by chapter you start pealing the layers of the twins relationship and their past. I think what makes Sally’s books different is that her characters have a lot of depth. Sometimes thrillers tend to have characters that are not fully developed or only unlikeable characters. Fern was such a great character and you couldn’t not root for her.

I would say there’s not a huge shocking twist (at least there wasn’t for me) but I still found this book to be entertaining and I couldn’t wait to find out how it ended. This isn’t a super dark book so if you’re looking for a darker thriller this is not it. It is a satisfying domestic drama and I recommend it!

This book was very interesting and fast-paced, the author held my attention and the plot was very appealing. I would recommend this book to friends.

This is a very memorable book. Surprise twist interns. As always Sally Hepworth did not disappoint. Great plot, great characters, great family dynamics. I always look forward to a book by this author. Thank you for my advanced copy.

Another fantastic book by this author! Lots of suspense and it will keep you guessing until the end.

Loved the story!

But if he stays, who will protect her from him?

Each book in the Blood Wars series is STANDALONE:

Sally Hepworth is an auto read author for me at this point. Not only because she can write a great family drama, but her engagement on social media as an author is one of the best. I absolutely loved The Mother-in-Law so I went into this book thinking I would fly through it. I truly believe this book fell victim to too much hype. I didn't love it like so many others did. I wasn't a fan of Rose or Fern and the book just didn't match what I wanted. I will make sure to pick up the next Sally Hepworth book as soon as possible so that the buzz doesn't affect my enjoyment.
