Baby Doll is a story about family, unconditional love and revenge, as Lily and her family are reunited and try to move on and make up for the time lost. 

I did get distracted, especially at the beginning of the book. It definitely picked up half way through and overall it was a solid read. 

The "big twist" didn't surprise me, but I liked how it ended. 

Lots of trigger warnings though, including mentions of rape, abduction, abuse, infidelity, suicide and murder.
