Reviews

[Radiyatu Bafalie · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book isa mixture of comedy and saddest. Twinklinka the prettest doll has a dream of being bought by a pretty girl just like her. when she was brought into the store she did everything possible not to go home with girls she felt were ugly and not upto her standards. when she did found what sheve been looking forit turn on the pretty girl wasnt all that pretty on the inside. she mistreated her and didnt care for her. inthe longrun she ends up with a nother girl who wasnt as pretty or rich but she gotall the love and attention she had always wanted.
