DOLL PARTS by Penny Zang

‘Doll Parts’ is a dual timeline suspense involving goth girls, the poetry of Sylvia Plath, a string of suicides, and a fractured, yet resilient, friendship.

Cleverly entwining poetry and popular music with lyric prose, Zang takes us on a beautiful journey through girlhood and beyond.

“‘It was the kind of pink-hazed sky that called for poetry. Pink like the flick of a tongue, like a blushing cheek, the beginning of a fever.”

I was invested in the story from page one and fell in love with Nikki and Sadie with their pinkie-swears and private jokes. Definitely a five-star read for me!
