Opinion
After
reading Barbie Girl I had high expectations for this book. And some points it
did disappoint me, but in others it didn’t. So I ended up liking Barbie World
as much as Barbie Girl.
This book
held way more drama than Barbie Girl did, which I liked. Barbie is trying to
deal with her past and tries to uncover her mother’s past. In the mean time she
also tries to stay away from Dylan, which turns out to be rather difficult.
While Barbie tries to move on for her own sake and for her little brother Everett
, Dylan can’t let her go. And that’s what bothered me about this book. In the
first one Dylan was a sweet kid and now he turned into a douchebag. He uses
people to get what he want, what in the end hurts more than one person. In some
way I could understand why he did it, but still it was wrong. And then there
was the hot and cold reaction Barbie and Dylan got towards each other. In the
beginning of the book I didn’t mind because I knew why they did have this
feelings towards each other. But till the end of the book it really got on my
nerves. How hard can it be to just say yes or no? But other than that Barbie
World was as amazing as the first book. Barbie grew a lot throughout this book
and stayed true to herself. After the first one she was broken, but at the end
of this book she was even stronger than she was at the start of the first one
with the help of her friends. And third
was as amazing as ever! Roxie also got her fair share of amazingness. But I
wouldn’t have minded to know more about Kai, I got the feeling that there was
more to tell about him than the author did. The ending of the book was very
satisfying, ‘cause it had an epilogue set in the future. Which is great because
it stops me from wondering what will happen after the book ended.
So I liked
Barbie World and I’m definitely going to read more books by this author.
Author bio
Heidi Acosta was born on Long Island, New York. Moving around a lot when she was younger, she has lived in New York, Arizona, New York (again), Washington, Georgia, and Florida, in that order. Each place offered her something special, but she will always consider New York her home.Heidi started writing as soon as she could spell. When she was three, Heidi’s mother gave her a copy of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House in the Big Woods; thus beginning her lifelong love affair with literature.
Writing soon also became a form of therapy for Heidi, when she realized that no matter what was happening in her life, she could find emotional escape while writing. Some of her earliest stories featured her as a princess who explored new worlds with her horse Buttercup. If it sounds romantic, it wasn’t, there was no prince charming in those fairy lands (boys where yucky).
Heidi now resides in Florida with her husband, very active daughter, one hyper Chihuahua, two sweet cats, and one very fat moody cat.
