Krysten’s Review

I was really excited to be approved for an ARC of Darling Girls, and it did not disappoint! The book is fast paced, easy to read, and twisty. The POV shifts and the alternating timelines worked well, and all the characters were well defined. Both timelines were equally compelling, and all sides of the story were fascinating; I never felt like I wanted to rush through any parts, because they were all important. And that twist at the end… mind blown! I guessed some of the twists before they happened, but the ending changed everything I thought I knew.

The only drawback was that it needs another round of serious editing. There were A LOT of typos and grammatical errors. I know this was an “uncorrected” ARC, but for a traditionally published novel, the amount of errors was surprising. (We self-published authors would never be able to get away with this… I think people are much more forgiving when you’re trad pubbed, which isn’t fair, but that’s neither here nor there.)

This was my first Sally Hepworth novel but it won’t be my last!

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
