Thank you to Netgalley and Hooder & Stoughton for the ARC!

2.5 stars!

I really liked how this started and the premise. I was so ready for this and really wanted to get deep into the sisters relationships, the relationship with their mum, and their own lives.

The writing is great! But the way it jumps from different past, present, and even Gwen's past, just seem to stop me from really getting deep within the story and connecting with any of the characters sadly.

Definitely worth checking out if you love family dynamics and relationships and realistic fiction, but sadly the execution wasn't a fit for me but maybe for someone else!

Selfish Girls follows three sisters and their mother as they navigate life. Ines moves home with her partner after almost having a breakdown but her mother, Gwen is glad to have her daughter home. Dylan is trying to move on from a rejection she can’t forget and Emma is suffering silently in her marriage. The sisters used to be inseparable, but being back in the Welsh town where they grew up reveals their haunting past.

I think many people will enjoy this novel. Technically the writing is good and it’s easy to emphasise with the characters.
