This book was lively, engaging, fast paced and twisty! I loved every minute of this book, it was my first Sally Hepworth book and it won’t be the last! This was the story of 3 adopted sisters and their complicated upbringing, trauma and the bond they share, along side this is the storyline of a body being found under their childhood home 🏡 There were lots of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. 5 stars ✨
