This book was very very twisted but so captivating! I love books that feature mother-daughter relationships, and the relationship between Patty and Rose Gold was nothing short of complicated.

Rose Gold lived her first 18 years believing she was chronically ill. Turns out, she was just being poisoned. Patty has just been released from prison at the start of the novel. Upon release, she moves back in with her daughter Rose Gold, who is now in her early 20's and is raising a baby boy named Adam. This book is told from alternating perspectives of both characters and features a timeline that goes back and forward from the time of Patty's sentencing.

I don't know that I would classify this book as a thriller, but it is a very dark psychological contemporary story. It reads very well. The writing is evenly paced from start to finish. I was always wondering what was going to happen next and I couldn't really ever predict what would happen next.

The cover is stunning, and for a debut novel, I believe that Stephanie Wrobel nailed it! Her passion for creative writing really comes through. I look forward to reading more in the future from her!
