I picked up this thriller because I love Wrobel's other novel This Might Hurt. Darling Rose Gold didn't feel as strong to me. It was alright, but it was lacking the clever touches that made her other work really stand out.

thetruthatallhazards's review against another edition

Feels genuinely gross how much this book draws on the real-life story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. There isn't enough difference between this book and the real-life story to make it interesting and not exploitative.
