Baby Doll by Hollie Overton
2.0
Lily Riser has been held captive for the past eight years. One day when her captor leaves the door unlocked by accident, Lily takes her daughter and makes a run for it. This book is about the events of what happens after.
Doesn’t that sound interesting? It does to me. Doesn’t it sound like a book that deals with sensitive issues like this properly? Doesn’t it sound like a book with this kind of subject would cover an investigation regarding a very stressful environment?
What really happens is that Lily gets Rick arrested by insisting that the police go to the high school where Rick teaches. Are you serious?! The high school?! How dumb is the police?! On top of that, Lily also comes to school herself. She points a finger at Rick and he gets arrested in his class with all the students taking pictures.
Um that would never happen. But whatever, let’s all work on our suspension of disbelief.
Abby, who is Lily’s twin, is a completely selfish idiot! She constantly keeps the philosophy that everyone doesn’t understand her whereas she’s one of the most insensitive people in this book!
As soon as her twin sister disappears, she hooks up with Lily’s boyfriend, Wes, as a method of “self medication”. And then when they hook up AGAIN after he comes back from college, she gets knocked up. She doesn’t want the baby but she allows herself to go through a full term pregnancy. Uh huh, okay. Eve, Lily’s mother, was no better either. She was constantly hooking up with the Sheriff on the effing case. For some reason Eve hooking up with the Sheriff is a crime but somehow Abby sleeping with her sister’s boyfriend isn’t.
Lily somehow manages to decide that she’ll win her old boyfriend back even though her sister is pregnant with his child. She has time to walk to a high school and get someone arrested, she can go get a makeover and get pictures taken with her daughter. This is days after she gets free.
The plot twist actually had more plot holes than I could count, but that’s another rant for another time. (-.-)
Not recommended if you’re looking for a read that will have you at the edge of your seat or if you hate lack of characterization in novels.
