Darling Rose Gold follows the story of a mother and daughter relationship, but nothing about it is typical. Rose Gold spent the first 18 years of her life believing she was chronically ill, only to discover that her mother had been purposefully making her ill. After serving 5 years in prison Patty Watts is free and begs her daughter to take her in. Rose happily obliges; she has been waiting a very long time for her mother to come home…
I really loved the premise of this book and was extremely intrigued by both Rose Gold and Patty. I found myself often unsure of which character was the unreliable narrator and which was the trustworthy one. I wish that there was more of a build-up of the final plot twist; I personally found that there was too much focus on plot points that did not impact the finale. I did love the use of both Rose Gold and Patty’s points of view and the timeline flipping from past to present.
Rating: [3/5]
Thank you, Simon and Schuster Canada for the ARC.
