About the Book:
Fern Castle works in her local library. She has dinner with her twin sister Rose three nights a week. And she avoids crowds, bright lights and loud noises as much as possible. Fern has a carefully structured life and disrupting her routine can be . . . dangerous. When Rose discovers that she cannot fall pregnant, Fern sees her chance to pay her sister back for everything Rose has done for her. Fern can have a baby for Rose. She just needs to find a father. Simple. Fern's mission will shake the foundations of the life she has carefully built for herself and stir up dark secrets that she long thought were buried.

My Review:
Why can’t I just be normal? I whisper. You are. It’s everyone else who are weirdos.

I loved this book and found myself totally engaged and fascinated. The characters were so well developed and credible, and the plot so perfectly constructed I had to finish it in one sitting. It is such a great story and very thought provoking...addressing issues around mental health, abuse and those who have sensory processing issues.

The twists and relationships are what make this such a wonderful read. It makes you realise that life, even in the same family, can be viewed very differently. This is a gripping family drama that I highly recommend, Sally Hepworth never disappoints!
