Darling Girls

by Sally Hepworth

I just finished reading Darling GIrls by Sally Hepworth. Thanks to Net Galley and ST. Martin’s Press for the advanced copy in return for an honesy review. Here are my thoughts.

I can honestly say that Sally Hepworth has done it again…this story is about sisters born from a different womb but connected in such a way that they are each other protectors and best advocates. The story follows these sisters from when they were fostered into the same home owned by the absolutelu awful Miss Fairchild. WHile staying with her, they are horribly mistreated until they find a way to leave.

Years later they are forced to return to the place they hated when a body is found and they need to speak to the police. There is a mystery to solve: Who is buried underneath the home of Miss Fairchile, and how are the sisters connected.

The mystery is slowly unraveled and there are many surprises along the way. What i loved about this book was the bond of the sisters which was inspriring, the imperfection of the sisters. They each harborured their own secrets and trauma, and the storytelling. I am never dissapointed with Sally Hepworth’s story telling. Her plot twists and character reveals are always delightfully surprising and this story was no different.

I loved the ending. It was….awesome. I kind of figured it out, but I was stilll surprised by it. I have learned that every character that Sally Hepworth introduces in her stories has a purpose, so I knew that in some way all the characters would have a part in solving the mystery. I also loved how they trauma of the sister’s chilhood made them resilient and strong and paved a way to happiness.

While the middle of the book is a little slow, it was worth plugging through to get to the end. I definite must read for lovers of this genre.

Happy Reading.
