Good but too much angst
Barbie World (Baby Doll Series) - Heidi Acosta

Once I finished Barbie Girl, I didn’t blink as I rushed to buy Barbie World. I had high hopes, maybe a little too much, which is why this book left me feeling confused. I still (sort of) liked Barbie, Dylan, Third and Roxie but aaaaaaargh! That’s how I felt for most of the story. There was far too much teenage angst in this one for me to love it. Yes, Barbie had a tortured past, and I appreciate some of the decisions she made but, my goodness, I kept wanting to shake her and yell “make up your mind already!” Dylan? Again, what is wrong with that boy? He dates Katie yet hates her and keeps trying to get with Barbie. Even when she appears to be dating Kai! Yet he’s the guy readers are supposed to be gushing over? And that ending – rushed is an understatement. It wasn’t a bad book, but when I started skipping pages to avoid unnecessary scenes of sexual frustration, I knew it wasn’t great either. Read this if you want to find out what happens with Barbie and Dylan, but brace yourself.

Barbie Girl
Barbie Girl - Heidi Acosta Barbie Girl took me fairly by surprise with both its characters, believable story line, and plot. Heidi did a great job getting into the minds of her characters and bringing readers into a place some would rather forget - even in adulthood.
As a YA book I felt it could also fit well into the New Adult genre but either is good.
I'm curious to find out if there are going to be additional novels or not - I won't say why because I don't want to spoil it, but I felt that Heidi handled several teen delicate topics respectfully and succeeded in writing a good story.

Barbie Girl (Baby Doll, #1)
Barbie Girl - Heidi Acosta Freaking fantastic! That's what I thought as I turned every page of this book. The characters were so alive and the storyline was sweet yet dark at the right places. I loved Barbie. What a strong young woman she turned out to be. And, yes, Dylan acted like a total idiot sometimes, but he was still pretty endearing. Third was brilliant as a secondary character, probably one of the best sidekicks I've read about in a long time. I loved this book so much! Book two has been bought and will be eargerly devoured shortly.
