π¦ Very much a page turner! I finished this in a single day.
π¦ You literally can't trust anyone in this book - the entire time I went back and forth as to whose "side" I was on.
π¦ There's a big twist at the end that I did NOT see coming!
ππππ© π πΏπππ£'π© πππ π:
π¦ Felt a little bit like a knock-off of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story, but Wrobel put a BIG spin on it.
π¦ I thought it kind of glorified Munchausen's by proxy a little bit? Like yeah, we hear about the horrible things done to Rose Gold, but it felt like Rose Gold was able to just kind of get over it like it was no big deal. Along the same lines, Rose Gold was WAY more self-sufficient than she should have been after 18 years of horrible abuse.

π¦ If you're interested in learning about Manchausen's By Proxy and love a good thriller, this is for you.
