3.75

3.5 rounded up. I love Sally Hepworth and I know that I can always rely on a good thriller from her. This book follows three sisters, all of whom stayed in the same foster care home as children. I really enjoyed the found family aspects of it. While the twists weren't completely shocking, I did not see them coming. The end was a twist that I could see people loving or hating but I really enjoyed it. Shoutout to Sally for including queer characters in this novel as well.

I think it could've been a little more fleshed out with the girls current life problems, but overall I had a great time reading this and I will continue to pick up Sally's books.

Thank you Net Galley and St. Martin's Press. It was very special to get to read one of my favorite thriller authors new release.
