And I hate to disappoint, but there will not be a sequel, so readers will have to decide for themselves where Patty and Rose Gold end up. The Recovery of Rose Gold is the UK title for the same book.

How I Pitch My Book Titles

Today I’m going to share the PowerPoint deck I prepared for my book 2 title pitch. With my debut, Darling Rose Gold, that title was found by consensus—and, frankly, was more in my editors’ hands than mine. With my third book, The Hitchcock Hotel, it only ever had one title from inception, which my editors loved immediately. With my second book, which would eventually be published as This Might Hur

I haven't read many story collections since grad school because, frankly, they often feel like homework to me. Not so with this book, which is described as a "candid, ultimately buoyant collection about the realities of the "baby years," whether you' ...more

This one reminded me of Sophie Mackintosh (an author I feel more Americans should read) with its moody atmosphere, biting commentary, and what-the-hell-is-going-on-here plot.

You're getting ambiguity. You're not going to find out why this group of peo

This is my third Makkai read. Her debut is warm and book nerdy and so FUNNY. Which confirms my suspicion there's nothing Rebecca Makkai can't write well—annoying for the rest of us mere mortal writers, but a colossal win for readers everywhere.

I do not throw the "m" word around lightly. This book is a masterpiece. It should be read in schools. Pick it up. You'll learn something, and despite the 500+ pages, it's a pacey read. ...more

Quotes by Stephanie Wrobel  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The debt between a child and her mother could never be repaid, like running a foot race against someone fifteen miles ahead of you. What hope did you have of catching up? It didn't matter how many Mother's Day cards you drew, how many cliches and vows of devotions you put inside them. You could tell her she was your favorite parent, wink like you were co-conspirators, fill her in on every trivial detail of your life. None of it was enough. It had taken me years to figure this out: you would never love your mother as much as she loved you. She had formed memories of you since you were a poppy seed in her belly. You didn't begin making your own memories until three, four, five years old? She'd had a running start. She had known you before you even existed. How could we compete with that? We couldn't. We accepted that our mothers held their love over us, let them parade it around like a flashy trinket, because their love was superior to ours.”
Stephanie Wrobel, Darling Rose Gold

“It was easier to manipulate someone if they didn’t perceive you as a threat.”
Stephanie Wrobel, Darling Rose Gold

“The bond between a mother and daughter is sacred. You know better than anyone that no matter how awful they are, we still find it in our hearts to love them.”
Stephanie Wrobel, Darling Rose Gold
