Story
Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be—a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.

From the outside, my marriage to Zach was perfect: a dream home, a perfect baby girl, and passionate, all-consuming love. But as I cradle my gorgeous baby, I have to accept that the husband who used to be my everything has changed. At first, it was little things: expecting me to keep to a strict schedule, picking out my clothes for me. Now, he controls every aspect of my life: from how much money I have, to when I leave the house, and who I can see. I know deep down, only one of us will make it out of this marriage alive.

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

Becoming a stepmother is the best thing that ever happened to me. My favorite part of every day is picking Charlie up from school, watching her little rucksack bounce behind her as she skips over for a hug. I love the feel of those thin freckled arms around my waist. After a few rocky months of panic attacks when her mother deserted her, Charlie is flourishing. But the day Charlie’s mother Bronwyn returns without warning—showering Charlie with gifts and making promises she can’t keep—fear ripples through me. She doesn’t know just how far I will go to protect that little girl.

Best Narration I have heard-magnificent story
- By Felicity Xenia Spamotic on 12-02-15
By: Donna Tartt
Publisher's Summary
The USA Today and Edgar Award Nominated Best Seller
"If you enjoyed The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, read Darling Rose Gold." (Washington Post)
“Sensationally good - two complex characters power the story like a nuclear reaction.” (Lee Child)
A most anticipated book of 2020 by Newsweek ∙ Marie Claire ∙ Bustle ∙ Shondaland ∙ PopSugar ∙ Woman’s Day ∙ Good Housekeeping ∙ BookRiot ∙ She Reads
Mothers never forget. Daughters never forgive.
For the first 18 years of her life, Rose Gold Watts believed she was seriously ill. She was allergic to everything, used a wheelchair and practically lived at the hospital. Neighbors did all they could, holding fundraisers and offering shoulders to cry on, but no matter how many doctors, tests, or surgeries, no one could figure out what was wrong with Rose Gold.
Turns out her mom, Patty Watts, was just a really good liar.
After serving five years in prison, Patty gets out with nowhere to go and begs her daughter to take her in. The entire community is shocked when Rose Gold says yes.
Patty insists all she wants is to reconcile their differences. She says she's forgiven Rose Gold for turning her in and testifying against her. But Rose Gold knows her mother. Patty Watts always settles a score.
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.
“Dazzling, dark and utterly delicious” (J. P. Delaney, New York Times best-selling author of The Girl Before)
“One of the most captivating and disturbing thrillers I've read this year. An astonishing debut” (Samantha Downing, USA Today best-selling author of My Lovely Wife)

“Darling Rose Gold is an absolutely brilliant book; funny, dark, authentic and a total page turner. I loved it." (Lisa Jewell, New York Times best-selling author of The Family Upstairs)

Editor's Pick
Mommy dearest?
"Mother-daughter relationships rarely get more complicated than that of Patty and Rose Gold Watts. Patty went to prison for spending decades making her daughter ill in a case of Munchausen by proxy, yet Rose Gold, who testified against her mother, picks up Patty upon her release five years later and takes her home. What ensues is a masterclass in manipulation, psychological damage, and pure old vengeance. It’s a fun, wild ride with Megan Dodds and Jill Winternitz as our narrator guides, each embodying these two women and immersing us in this complex thriller."

Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose-esque but way better ending
I devoured this page turner in one and a half days. Patty is amazing (in such an awful way) and has really done a number on "darling" Rose Gold. Both performances are spot-on perfection. This is definitely the best book I have listened to in ages, I hardly ever feel the need to write reviews. SO GOOD. Use your credit on this one.

Ending.....really?
Okay this was an amazing book. I started and couldn't stop until the very end. Won't give any spoilers but I will say the end made me go really? Dot.dot.dot Really?The whole book was wonderful.I was left guessing,Putting the pieces together,And rooting for the bad guy. I love books like this that keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. This book definitely did and the narration was on point.I loved everything about it, except the end.Even though the end left something to be desired, it's still was amazing.I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery.Also the medical information in this book was very accurate which makes following it even more interesting.Great book

Twisted relationship
It's clear from the beginning that this mother-daughter dynamic isn't a healthy one, and unfortunately, that takes a lot of the suspense out of the story as it progresses. The only real question is which one of them will prevail in this battle of cunning. There are a few unexpected reveals, and if you want a story where good overcomes evil, this isn't it. The narrators were both good, and this book is written in an alternating narrative voice, so using two different narrators was essential.

Delicious!
Rose Gold is the ultimate story of sacrifice and revenge. This tale is woven through the life span of a young girl who's mother kept her sick for attention, and then when Rose is an adult, her mother wants her help.
The secrets and lies that come to the surface are shocking. Rose isn't the girl she used to be, but she is so glad her mom is coming home.
I devoured this audio book in no time and I was consumed with the characters. Well done Ms Wrobel!

Eh
Very unbelievable. All of the characters are unlikable. Knew where the story was going from the start, and it’s hard to believe that each character was so oblivious to each other character’s motivations.
**Spoiler**
No way Rosegold would have gotten away with any of it at the end. The mother was obviously set up and could have been easily proven by law enforcement.
