Darling Rose by Stephanie Wrobel
Published March 17th 2020
Darling Rose is loosely and I do mean loosely based on the real life events of Dee Dee Blanchard and Gypsy Rose.
Rose Gold and her mother, Patty have a dark, twisted relationship and it's just about to get darker. Patty has just been released from her five year prison sentence for aggravated child abuse. She has Munchausen by Proxy and robbed Rose Gold of a her childhood. Rose Gold suffered emotionally,physically and mentally under the hands of her mother. In the past 5 years she has healed to a degree but her life with Patty taught her go to be conniving and sneaky and when Patty comes to live with her a game of cat and mouse begins. It's just a a question of who is the hunter and who is the hunted.
This book is split between Rose Gold and Patty's point of views. Each voice is distinct. The characters are unlikable and unreliable as narrators but they tell an intriguing story that is devious and engrossing. Sit back and enjoy this dark psychological thriller.
* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
