Lucy isn’t a normal girl. Ghost. Victim. Killer. She’s a doll on a mission—to find the man who killed her and return the favor.
Lucy McQuinn has been murdered, but she’s not about to go quietly. If she doesn’t get to keep breathing, then neither does Kyle, her killer. Possessing the body of an antique doll, she sets out on a quest for revenge. But it’s hard when you’re eighteen inches tall and made of porcelain.
For help, she turns to Nicola, a human and fellow outsider with her own reasons to hate Kyle. But in their small idyllic town, no one wants to hear the truth, especially not about such a promising young man. If they can’t expose his crimes, Lucy will have to roll up her lacy little sleeves and teach him a lesson the old-fashioned way—as slowly and painfully as possible.
From LA Times bestselling author Barbara Truelove, She’s a Doll is a ghoulish and gleeful tribute to the unstoppable power of female rage and a love letter to the friends who have our back—in this life and the next.
Don’t just take
our word for it
"She's A Doll is one wickedly clever and unforgettable tale of female rage. Lucy's irreverent perspective disturbs and delights in all the ways it should, and at the center of the novel's wonderfully audacious set-up is a deeply moving and thoughtfully crafted rallying cry for justice. Barbara Truelove pulls no punches. Whether hot, cold, or by possessed doll, and especially when it's this riveting and fantastically done? Revenge is a dish best served."
- Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author
"A gut punch of a book, chock full of queerness and revenge. There's so much talent and originality in these pages-Barb could write a grocery list and I'd be begging to read it."
- Eli Snow, author of The Divine Gardener's Handbook
"Witty, gut-wrenching, and endlessly creative, Truelove's powerful story of female rage highlights the complexities of justice and the strength of survivors. Lucy and Nicola's campaign for revenge will haunt your mind long after you finish reading."
- Ana Davis, author of My Keen Knife
