I loved Melanie Martinez's song Dollhouse, and it inspired a book about a rich girl in a family where looks are everything. It shows the toll on the soul and on the family when the family unit is overwhelmingly broken and unable to communicate.
I see things that nobody else seesMy family seems to be perfect from the outside looking in. We have the big house, the money for things, the million-dollar-smiles… but nothing is ever as it seems.
We’re plastic. We’re fake. So fake, in fact, that we hide the little things about us, we hide everything about us, to be more specific. My dad does things he isn’t supposed to, and my mom is taking it hard. My brother has a full ride to any college of his choice, and he’s blowing it away like it’s nothing at all. So what would happen if someone found out about us? If they saw through our little charade? If they looked past the kitchen curtains that hide every conversation my parents have with each other? What if we were exposed for who we really are, instead of who everyone thinks we are? INSPIRED BY MELANIE MARTINEZ' SONG DOLLHOUSE |
