Wow, what a book! I was hooked from the start and read the whole book during one day. I did read one or two pages of the book some day before just to check and see if it looked interesting and I found it so, but I had no idea that when I started the book for real that it would be so intriguing to read that I hardly could put down the book.
What I especially like about the book was that there are different point-of-views throughout the book which meant that we got to follow each main character as the story progressed. I felt that it worked very well with this story since there are so many people involved and to follow each of the character's moments made the story richer.
It's a very very gripping and suspenseful story from the moment Lily and Skye escape in the beginning of the book until the end. Lily is, despite everything she has been through a very strong person, but still it's hard to get back to the world where so much have changed. For instance, Wes, her then boyfriend is now expecting a child with her sister and so much has changed with her family. Not to mention the pressure of the press and the fear of her captor going free.
BABY DOLL is a fantastic book with a thrilling and fascinating story that will grip your heart and not let go. The ending was unpredictable and truly surprised me since I was expecting a different kind of ending. I loved every page of the book and I recommend it warmly!
You've been held captive in one room, mentally and
physically abused every day, since you were sixteen years old.
Then, one night, you realize your captor has left the door
to your cell unlocked.
For the first time in eight years, you're free.
This is about what happens next ...
Lily knows that she must bring the man who nearly ruined her
life to justice. But she never imagined that reconnecting
with her family would be just as difficult. Reclaiming her
relationship with her twin sister, her mother, and her high
school sweetheart, who is in love with her sister, may be
Lily's greatest challenge. After all they've been through,
can Lily and her family find their way back after this
life-altering trauma?
Baby Doll is a taut psychological thriller
that focuses on family entanglements and the evil that can
hide behind a benign facade.
