What I read in February 2022
The shortest and busiest month I’ve had in ages is the summary I can give to February 2022.
Somehow I found some time to enjoy two books and both were amazing.
The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth
Fern and Rose Castle are twins. Their lives are very different and Fern lives hers with a strict routine. She has dinner 3 times a week with Rose, she works in a library and she keeps to herself.
Fern knows what happens when she deviates from her routines. The dark secret that she and Rose keep buried is something that haunts her.
Fern relies on her Rose alot. She doesn’t know what she would do without her. When she finds out that Rose is struggling to start a family, she realises there is something she can do for Rose. She can have a baby for her twin.
Fern doesn’t realise the changes this will make to her life. How her careful planning and meticulous routines will be affected. That the past will have to be acknowledged and dealt with.
But sisters will do anything for each other wouldn’t they?
This is yet another brilliant page turner by Sally Hepworth. Told from Fern’s POV but with entries from Rose’s diary throughout the book - I did NOT guess what was going to happen.
You are not alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
Shay Miller is searching for a new job, new apartment and romance but remains feeling increasingly alone.
One day she witnesses a tragedy which changes her life forever.
She then meets the Moore sisters - Cassandra and Jane who are successful, beautiful and elegant. Shay thinks she would love to have the life they lead but she is very wrong because Cassandra and Jane are planning to take over hers. The more involved in her life the sisters become the more lucky Shay starts feeling.
A new job, a lovely apartment, showered with gifts and suddenly feeling like she belongs, Shay has no idea what the sisters have in store for her.
This was almost as enjoyable as The Wife Between Us and I thoroughly enjoyed the many surprises as the book unfolded.
