The Good Sister is a twisted psychological thriller/family drama not to miss. Think, Elenor Oliphant is completely fine meets a thriller by Lisa Jewell.

With completely likeable characters and an engaging story line, the twist happens and suddenly you’ll question everything you read and everything you know or thought you knew.

A great read! 4 stars!

Fern and Rose are fraternal twins. Fern has sensory-processing issues, sound, light and touch. Rose has taken care of Fern since they were children, helping her to cope with situations and dealing with people. Rose is married but her husband Owen has been in London for a while on a job. Rose wants a baby badly but has diseased ovaries. Since Fern shouldn't have a child because she probably wouldn't be able to care for it, she would like to have a baby and give it to Rose and Owen.

This book is a first time author for me. I was delighted with the story from page one. Fern is a wonderful character who I would love to know. Hepworth does a great job of going day to day with Fern and making her such a lovable person. Rose keeps a journal and tells her side of growing up with their single mom and taking care of Fern.

I loved this book and thank Netgalley and St. Martins for allowing me to read and review it. I'm looking forward to more books by Sally Hepworth.

Honestly..this was the best book i have read in years!!!!
Sally Hepworth obviously is an amazing writer!!! Fern and how her thoughts were presented was just amazing. It was almost like she was "real". It was almost as I could "feel" what she was going through.
Just a wonderful book and I truly couldn't put it down.

The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth is an easy ***** review.  This book took tropes and turned them upside down.  It was engaging, disturbing, delightful, and twisty (and you know I love a good twist!).

Fern and Rose are fraternal twins in Australia.  Rose is married, has a house, and seemingly has it all together. Fern has sensory issues and struggles with independence and boundaries.  When Fern finds out that Rose is struggling to get pregnant, Fern comes up with a plan--that isn't as perfect and flawless as it seems.

Fern and Rose's relationship is at the crux of the novel, asking questions along the way about how much dependence is too much and what if what you see isn't what you get.  The book alternates narrators between Rose's diary and Fern's first person and as with any good thriller, there's a mystery at the heart of their stories--the same story, told by two different people, isn't always the same story.  Their relationship with their mother is intriguing and along the way, I was wondering what was really going on.  This book kept me guessing until the end-which tied everything up very nicely.

I absolutely could not put this book down! Yet again, Sally Hepworth has done it! This book is so many different things rolled into one wonderful, delicious book. Fern and Rose are twins and the book goes back and forth between their narrations. Fern has sensory issues and her sister Rose has always protected and taken care of her. But Fern meets a guy at the library where she works and realizes over time that she can take care of herself. There is humor, romance, and twists and turns in this excellent book!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC.
Another great book by Sally Hepworth, I couldn't put it down.
It's the story of two fraternal twins, Fern and Rose, told in alternating chapters: from Fern's point of view and from Rose's diary entries.
Fern suffers from sensory overload (autistic?) and relies heavily on Rose's help to navigate her way through a noisy, bright and overwhelming world. She works at a library, which she loves and has a small apartment, but spends a lot of time at Rose's home. Then she meets a young man.
This is a book I absolutely loved. It deals with mental illness, the sisters' relationship with their mother and what happens when Fern falls in love, slowly pulls away from Rose and the subsequent fallout.
Do yourselves a favor and read this book! Highly recommended.

A dual POV novel with an engrossing plot, unique characters, and plenty of surprises. I loved that one of the sisters was a librarian. If you're a Sally Hepworth fan, you're in for a treat. If you're not, you will be after you read this one! 4.5 stars.

*Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book late into the night and then quickly finished it the next day. Going in to it I thought I had it all figured out. Rose and Fern, fraternal twins, grew up without a father. Their mother was abusive, and it shaped their lives forever. Now grown, the sisters spend many nights eating dinner together. Each sister has her own life, but they are never far from each other. When Rose and her husband Owen want a child, but cannot conceive, Rose decides to get pregnant and give her baby to them. What happens next is a wild ride of emotions. I’m thankful to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to be an early reader.

A suspenseful new thriller featuring two sisters, and an unreliable narrator that will have you fully engrossed and questioning who to trust. The first half reads more like a family drama/character study ...with one of my favourite characters this year - Fern, and the unique way she socializes with others, perceives situations and communicates. The second half is a thrill ride!!! Psychological thriller for the win. I loved this book so much. Thank you @sallyhepworth. Go into this one blind and you won’t regret it.

I received an ARC for my honest review of this book.

I have read two other books by Sally Hepworth and both received five stars from me....not something I give easily! I didn’t think this one would reach the expectations I had going into it, but boy was I wrong! She hit it out of the park on this one!

I have a son who has many sensory processing issues. Ms. Hepworth describes those issues perfectly! I felt at times that I was reading a book about him!

This book is pretty emotional. It shows family dynamic and what mental health issues can do to a family. Sweet Fern still has no idea what her sister is capable of and what her Momma went through raising the twin girls. It is a little slow to start, but once the characters are developed, you will not want to put it down. I still can't believe all of it, but you know what, I don't have a sister. Maybe two sisters would total understand.

Sally Hepworth has become one of my favorite authors so, when I saw her new book up on NetGalley I had to apply to read it! Than you NetGalley for the opportunity to read The Good Sister for a fair review.
A story of twin sisters, fern and Rose, told in turn by the sisters, these are two well developed, interesting characters who draw you into their story very quickly and keep you there until the very last word! Sally Hepworth has again done what she does best with a great story, interesting characters and enough twists to keep you guessing! Grab this one as soon as you can!

Wonderful! I was sucked in right away. The characters were relatable and had me wanting to dig deeper. This book had me completely hooked. Could t put it down. Definitely one to put on your list!

Fern and Rose are fraternal twins who grew up with a challenging mother and ended up very dependent on one another in many different ways.

Once again Sally Hepworth has written a smashing hit. This is one book you will not want to miss!

The Good Sister was amazing, Very hard to put down.Sally Hepworth doesn’t disappoint. Twin sisters Fern and Rose have an interesting relationship. Fern is a librarian and would do anything for her sister or would she

This is the second book I have read by this author and I am now officially a fan. Twins Fern and Rose have a really odd relationship. and there is really a struggle for dependence for Fern as she begins to grow apart from Rose. I really liked the overall subject matter of this book and liked the journal intertwined throughout offering flashbacks to the past. Fern stole the show in this book. She has a sensory disorder and so many of her behaviors and ideas were so funny and engaging. I will definitely be recommending this book to others and I found it highly enjoyable. Thanks for the ARC, Net Galley.

These two sisters are a very tricky set of twins! Fern has sensory issues and Rose has taken care of her since she was young. But, as time goes on, Fern realizes she is capable of much more than she thought.

This book started well, dragged for a short while, and then I was hooked again. I would definitely recommend it!

Sally Hepworth is one of my very favourite authors! I enjoy immensely all of her books. In "The Good Sister" Sally has managed to write a book both intense and adorable, too. It is suspenseful with twists and turns but there is also a lovely love story between Fern and Wally that will make you swoon. Fern must be one of my favourite heroins of all time! I especially enjoyed the setting of the library and that Fern was a librarian. I would definitely like to see her again in another novel. A well-written, can't-stop-reading-it book!

Fern works in her local library. She has dinner with her sister Rose three nights a week. And she avoids crowds, bright lights and loud noises as much as possible. When Rose discover that she cannot fall pregnant, Fern sees her chance to pay her sister back for everything Rose has done for her. Fern can have a baby for Rose. She just needs to find a father. Simple. Her mission will shake the foundations of the life she has carefully built for herself and stir up dark secrets from the past, in this quirky, rich and shocking story of unexpected love.

I loved this story so much, it was twisty, high paced, full of tension and adorable. Fern’s character is on the spectrum of Asperger’s syndrome, and she captured me completely. This story had everything, it was full of mystery and drama, great developed characters and a cute love story. Mother in Law was a great book for me, but this was even better.
