Great book
This is a really intense series talking about really deep issues. However I think the way that it is handled is done quite well. I really like the main characters and their families.

It's Complicated
Ahh, when lies seep into a relationship, even when they are well intentioned white lies or omissions of truth, you start to feel the cracks in a relationship. Olivia and Avery begin the legal process against Ben for his crimes against his student. But it's actually Olivia who bears the immediate emotional brunt and feels compelled to confront Ben. I don't know how the authors knew but it's one of the most astute portrayals of a true manipulator that I've ever read and unfortunately Olivia gets sucked into Ben's mental rabbit hole. Avery tries her best to pull Olivia out of her own head but Vi is Vi. And there's the Skylar question, who I'm by the way, really starting to like. I'm still hooked so on to book four.

Addicting
The story is addicting. It's first person, and the immersion into each character's mind is really well done.
The formatting and editing could use a lil work but it doesn't detract from the story at all. Once you start this series stopping isn't really an option.
I get annoyed with the characters' constant overthinking of everything, particularly Olivia's, but at the same time it makes sense for them as 17/18 year olds to be thinking and acting that way. I remember those extreme emotional reactions at 18 to things I would just view as understandable or minor now, 15 years later. Ultimately, I think it adds to the realism of the story.

Loved it
Once again Chamberlain and Stone knock it out of the park. They diligently warn readers of the more risqué content of their novel in order to offer an enjoyable experience for their readers. Both Avery and Olivia's characters grow throughout this journey. The writing is excellent and the individual voices are shared throughout. I cannot wait for the next installment.

Another great story
Another fine volume in Avery and Olivia's story. The frustrating mental spaces both of the protagonists tend to gravitate towards are at the same time realistic and maddening. I look forward to the continuation of the series.

Hooked
This is the third book and while I've found each one to be difficult to read at times because of all the emotions and some of the subject matter I'm looking forward to the next book.

Monumental love story
If you are looking for lesbian love story with complex main characters that come alive on the page, you can find it in the Paper Dolls book series. Read and you will find yourself drawn into the passion and deep love experienced through Olivia and Avery's journey. If you don't feel their heat, you aren't reading enough.

NOT your typical teen romance, a lot of heavy stuff and lots of introspection, yes, and sex too.
If you have gotten to book #3 this is obviously your thing - if you did not like it book #2 would have been the end of the line for you.
