A review by alilbitofmonica
Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

4.5

Oh. My. God.
Not only did this book move quickly, but it kept me hooked from start to finish. Plus... I feel like my brain was exploding by the time I finished this book, putting all of the pieces together and seeing how it all played out.
4.5 stars

- I really love getting the perspectives of each of the three sisters. Each on brought a very unique perspective to their upbringing in the foster home and it helped keep each chapter new and fresh.
- The twists were TWISTING - even when you sort of put things together, the way things are unveiled is brilliant and reveals even more than you thought.
- The child abuse represented in the flashbacks is very intense and dark, but it sets the tone well to allow the reader to understand just how malicious the situation was
- I appreciate that the characters had depth - they all had their own individual lives as adults with their own issues to work through
