This book was AMAZING. A true page-turner and the kind of dark read I love.
The book is about Rose Gold, who is in her early twenties when her mother, Patty, is released from prison. Patty was locked up for child abuse. She poisoned her own daughter and convinced everyone that Rose Gold was sick when she wasn't. Thus, Rose Gold enters adulthood with a very warped view of the world (understandably). The book follows Rose Gold as she deals with her mother being released from prison, but it also flashes back to the early days after Patty's arrest when Rose Gold has to learn to navigate a new view of life. I love that the book also shows us Patty's point of view. Even though she's a character who is easy to hate, she also has some charming qualities that add complexity to the tale. I loved how each character had a distinct voice. The description in this book was phenomenal. Wrobel is a standout writer and really shines with this book. This book looks at the mother-daughter relationship in a very warped light. This is a book that you'll fly through because you just can't look away from the dysfunctional family. It will stick with you long after the final page, however. I loved the ending. I loved everything about it. Read this book if you love dark, twisted, introspective thrillers.

I love reading books because it expands my imagination, there are characters that are being described in the story and we can say that these characters make up the whole story, a whole story that is really fun to read. I want to know more about the background story of these characters. I think that this book called Darling Rose Gold is a masterpiece that we all should read. We will enjoy the different chapters that are being written in the book.
