The only reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is because it was not my type of story. But the story is too powerful. Child abuse is the most prominent thing that stands out in the book but other than that, it is a story set in Kerala of a local family.
Read it if you can stand such stories. Otherwise it is sure to haunt you. The writing is way too realistic

A quick read. And by that I mean, even if you skip a couple hundred pages, you would still be able to follow the story line, kind of read. Super creepy but oh so slow

So much suspense in a book gets unbearable. Paper Doll starts with a suspense. The very first line, first page of the book starts with the question “Who did it?”. The story is about a child actor who quits show business after something happens which terrifies the girl out of the show business altogether.

The character building right from the first page has been heavy and strong. Every single character has given an individuality which is very strong. The story was unraveled like a Christmas gift with multiple layers. And the ending was amazing too, totally unpredicted. The life of a child star was shown with the depth and complexity required for it. The husband from non - glamor background, the power-hungry parent, the jealous counterparts, jealous and/or confused siblings, crazy fans, dark secret in the past, the child star wanting just a normal life with no shenanigans - it was a complete package. The characters and the story was totally relatable with the ideas we have of the stars and their lives.

A suspense packed novel.
