The Good Sister
The good sister by Sally Hepworth is similar to a psychological thriller. The story starts in a diary when one of the twins' sisters writes about her life.
Fern and Rose are twins, people assumed they are close. Yes, they are close, but there must be something that controls their life. From the start of the story, we realize Rose is the responsible one and Fern is the quirky one. Also, Fern has an autism spectrum, she has to avoid the crowded and noisy place. That's why Rose has a protective gesture towards Fern. There is one more reason for this, their mother is a sociopath, she hid her nature.
Growing up the twin-face terrible childhood, because of their uncaring addicted mother. but now their mother is in the hospital bed because of an overdose. The story was quite clear till there, But after some story passes you kind of realize Rose is not the person she claims to be. Now she was facing a problem with her husband. She wanted to get pregnant but she couldn't so Fern decided to get pregnant and give the baby to her sister. Then something changed. Rose feels like it is not okay for Fern to decide their life. If this happens something will lose control, it is bad.
But Fern decides to do that, so she searches for one night stand, she is a Liberian in the local library, where she met wally. Though she was looking for one night stand she started to like wally. But Fern isn't sure, because of the past. years ago she did something, a boy died because of her. Rose didn't tell anyone. She was hiding the secret, now the darkest secret will come out.
The story has many twisting plots and unpredictable turns. you like the bond the sisters share but can tell something is off. It's like believing a lie. I do feel this story satisfied my thirst, it also has a less revealing plot. If you are not a fan of Sally Hepworth's writing, this story may make you. From start to end this story will blow your mind.
