The Dollhouse Academy: A Novel by Margarita Montimore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the story of Ivy Gordon and Ramona&Grace. Ivy is the most famous actress to have ever come out of the Dollhouse Academy. She’s glamorous and rich and famous. But there’s more going on. She’s also trapped and sad and unable to get out.
Ramona and Grace are best friends. They have dreamt of going to The Dollhouse Academy for as long as they can remember. But once they make it in, things don’t go as planned. Friendships fracture, things seem off, there are weird rumors, and even weirder things happening.
The story goes back and forth between Ivy’s journal and Ramona until they all intertwine of course. The atmospheric writing coupled with the mysterious plot in this dark academia novel keeps you deeply engaged until the very end.
with gratitude NetGalley and Flatiron Books for the opportunity to preview this title in exchange for my honest opinion.
