not bad but i wasn’t as shocked as i was hoping to be
0This one left my jaw on the floor!! I’ve loved all of Sally Hepworth’s books, but this one might be one of her best.
The story centers around three women who lived in the same foster home and are closer than most biological sisters. They lean on each other for everything and they have been through a lot together.
When they get a call from a detective asking them to go back to their foster home, they are hesitant. They didn’t have the best memories there and want to put it all behind them. But, something happened there that needs to be resolved.
I absolutely loved reading this book. I thought that the excerpts with the mystery person talking to a therapist were most intriguing. I also really liked when the book went back in the past to expand upon the girls’ childhood, even though it was really hard to read.
The author did a fantastic job at wrapping up the story nicely and the ending was so satisfying!
Thank you, @netgalley and @stmartinspress for the eARC in exchange for a review!
