Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I’d probably rate this 3.5 stars. I have enjoyed this author in the past, so I was pleased when I was approved to read Darling Girls. The author writes well and I was interested from the outset of the book. However, I found this wasn’t one that kept me wanting to read. I could easily put it down in favor of other things.
Darling Girls covers some very deep topics which may be triggering for some including child abuse, drug abuse, and sexual assault.
The story was interesting – three girls who grew up in foster care bonded together because of the abuse this endured. But somehow the execution was not fully there for me. I neither loved nor hated this story. It was just – fine!
I’ve seen some reviews where people were bothered by the ending. I was not and some of the “twists” I figured out along the way.
Overall, this was an ok read and because I have had prior experience with the author I would likely read other books written by her.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
