I don’t know. I expected more. Especially with the tag line:
“Unfortunately for Patty, Rose Gold is no longer her weak little
darling.
And she's waited such a long time for her mother to come home.”
I figured this was based off of Gypsy Rose right when I got this book.
I guess where this story lacks is none of the craziness happens until the end? Which was a great twist ending don’t get me wrong. I felt like the book started off strong, middle felt lackluster and end was good.
Spoilers ahead!
i kinda wish we got to be along side Rose while she was planning this whole thing out. The whole side story with Phil and Alex were kind of useless? I guess it gave us more sympathy for Rose but that was about it.
And the Dad thing. I can imagine it’s be tough meeting a child you didn’t want years later but he was almost as bad as Patty! How you gonna find your daughter, say you want her in your life then drop her??? I did get upset when Rose starting lying about cancer but honestly can we even blame her? She has a mother who abused her and a father who even after meeting her, never wanted her. But I’m telling y’all it was that wife Kim who caused that rift between them. Gave me MAJOR Karen vibes. Never gave Rose a chance.
I also find it hard to believe that their newborn child goes missing and y’all don’t think to check up on the other child you abandoned….like not even once???
Patty was a crazy lunatic though. Even though she was correct that her daughter was up to something, but god damn girl right away she’s plotting and planning. I hated reading her chapters honestly I just wanted her to shut up.
Like mother like daughter. I hope Rose can get her teeth fixed and live her best life now? 😂🥴
Overall, a bit of a bore :(
