Rose and Fran are 28 year old fraternal twins that live in England. They are as different as can be, but one thing they have in common is their willingness to protect each other.
Fran is a librarian and suffers from Sensory Processing Disorder. She doesn't form friendships easily, is quite childlike, and doesn't understand social cues. Even so, the ladies at the library where she works have befriended her as much was she will allow it.
Rose is an interior designer of office spaces and is married to Owen. She and Owen are having marital problems. Rose wants to have a baby, but she suffers from a condition that causes her eggs to age at a rapid rate. This condition makes it difficult for her to conceive. Fran comes up with a plan to help Rose become a mother. Will Rose and Owen go along with this plan?
Fran meets a man named Rocco in the library and mistakes him as homeless. He is dressed in attire that reminds her of Wally from the book, Where's Wally? Because of this association to the book character, Fran calls Rocco Wally throughout the book. They become a couple, and Fran gets pregnant. Rose is not happy with Fran and Wally's relationship, and she does all that she can to separate them.
Throughout the novel, the chapters switch between current day and Rose's diary entries, which reveal a troubled past living with their mother. The plot thickens and things aren't always what they seem!
I rated The Good Sister as 5/5 stars for outstanding. This psychological thriller is quite engaging and the characters are interesting and believable. This was the first book I read written by Sally Hepworth. I was so engaged in this book, I will read more from her.
"There's only been one time that Rose couldn't stop me from doing the wrong thing and that was a mistake that will haunt me for the rest of my life." - The Good Sister
