The story is told in rotating perspectives of Rose Gold and her mother Patty. Rose Gold's story is told in the past perspective while Patty's story is told from the present perspective.
One problem I had with the book is the connection to the real life case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. The book borrowed heavily from the real case. I don't have a problem with that, however it feels like there is a judgment being cast on both parties. Maybe if they had changed the characters name to something further from the actual person's name it wouldn't have been so bad for me.
