The Good Sister is a compelling domestic thriller told from the perspectives of Rose and Fern Castle, twin sisters who couldn't be more different from one another.

Rose is portrayed as the responsible level headed sister and almighty protector of the more vulnerable, Fern. We get to know Rose through her journal entries, recounting her abusive childhood and complicated history with her mother.... And the dark secret of what Fern did to Billy at the lake when they were 12...

From Ferns POV, we enter her most inner thoughts as she navigates life with Sensory Processing Disorder. Fern has a very different take on their childhood and still visits her mother weekly, but no matter what happens Rose is her Person.. The one being she can count on to help her "be good". So when Fern finds out that Rose can't carry a baby, of course, she decides that she will do this for her. After all, Rose has done so much for Fern.

But nothing is as it seems...

I thoroughly enjoyed living vicariously through Fern with her witty and intelligent quirks. The relationship she developed with Wally was so heart-warming and made me swoon at times.

I can't say I was surprised by the ending though, but I feel that is intended in this case, with nuggets of the truth revealing itself as the story unfolds.

The Good Sister is the second book I have read by Sally Hepworth this month and she is fast becoming one of my fav Aussie Authors.
