The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth

This is a novel about twin sisters, Rose and Fern. The author switches from a diary written by Rose to a narrative focused on Fern. We quickly realize that Fern is on the spectrum, and she sees Rose as "her person", the one individual who knows her best and she can trust. We also know that when they were young a boy drowned after Fern held him underwater. We slowly learn more about the details of this day as the story progresses.

The novel is described as a psychological thriller, although I don't know if there was much suspense in it. However, it's a good story with solid character development, and I enjoyed it. I won't give any more of the story away. -June
