This was the perfect read to help me escape from reality for a while. Sally Hepworth writes about family drama in a way that’s often relatable. There were many endearing characters in this novel and the interactions between them had me laughing out loud at times. Meanwhile we learn from Rose’s diary that she is more manipulative than it seems at first. She looks out for Fern but also keeps her from maturing by constantly telling her that she is forgetful and unable to be counted on. A very sad event happened when they were children and Fern has always felt responsible, Rose constantly holds this over her. You will learn a lot more about Rose during the novel. She has her own ideas about how she wants the future to play out. This was my first Sally Hepworth novel, but after reading this, it definitely won’t be my last … this was really good! I was expecting a psychological thriller, but it’s more of a domestic suspense/mystery and family drama heavy on the psychology. What surprised me most though, was the unexpected heartwarming romance that drove much of the plot. I went in expecting cold, calculating, hand-twisting characters and was met with Fern and “Wally”, one of the quirkiest, most charming and sweet pair I’ve seen in a book of late, and I’ve met a few this year. Jayme referenced Eleanor Oliphant in her review, and she’s spot-on as far as Fern’s personality is concerned - just add in debilitating sensory issues with light, sound and touch, and the similarities are there. And from the POV of the diary we realize their mother has sociopathic tendencies, targeting Rose ( because she takes the blames to protect her dear sister) by mentally and physically abusing her. Then after being overdosed, the sisters find themselves at the rusty wheels of foster care system.Twin sisters Fern and Rose are extremely close. Fern is on the spectrum, and Rose makes sure her twin is taken care of, something she has done since they were children. When one twin needs something, the other is there. But one of these twins is CRAZY, so crazy that she tries to steal what her sister holds most dear. Conversely, Chaurisse Witherspoon is the legitimate daughter of James and Laverne, and she has no idea her half-sister exists. The sister’s earlier years are shared with the reader through the “Journal entries of Rose Ingrid Castle” in alternating chapters.
