Baby Doll by Hollie Overton
3.0
Read for Review (BEA16 Publisher)
Overall Rating: 3.50
Story Rating: 3.75
Character Rating: 3.25
First Thought when Finished: Baby Doll by Hollie Overton was a great premise but it suffered a bit from uneven storytelling.
Quick Thoughts: There were parts of this book that were really well done. The beginning 1/3 really had my hooked. I really liked hitting the ground running and the immediate fall out. The problem is I think there were too many POVs and that made all the characters a little one deminsional. I wanted more depth to the characters and the story in general. This book really should have been a tad bit longer. I understand why the author chose to go the multi-POV route but it just took me out of the story in the middle. There were just story points I did not care about: The Mom's love life, Abby's drama. I think this all lead to the end being a little rushed. Overall though I did enjoy the book. It was an easy and quick read that did a great job of not pulling punches in responses to the situation. That was really compelling because we all could only guess how we would react in the same situation.
