Paper can be torn and dolls can break.

So can humans.

Kite Tanner, a widow, struggles with the sudden loss of her husband.

Priscilla Martin, the minister’s daughter, pursues money and men with passion.

Lydia Dooley, a prayer-warrior, battles a brain tumor and a daughter who can’t forget the sins of her mother’s past.

Eve Stanton, a talented Christian singer and songwriter, is brought to her knees when the truth about her marriage is revealed.

Mary Rabin, kidnapped from her front yard at the age of eight, returns forty years later to reunite with the family and friends she’d fought for decades to find her way back to.

The bonds of family and friendship are tested.

Will the women’s faith in God and each other stand the test of time? Or will it crumple like paper?

So many things going on in the lives of these women, and yet all of them interconnected. I loved the inclusion of the faith component without being preachy.

This was a great storyline, and I look forward to seeing it continue.

4.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing story
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2022

I don't like to read back cover copy because it's often inaccurate (and ruins the experience for me), so I picked up this book with no idea what to expect (the cover doesn't really offer any clues). Hunt's debut novel is an interesting and intriguing, and it definitely captured my attention.

The story can be a bit confusing at first as there are a lot of characters, but that's also what makes it really interesting -- there are a lots of plot lines to follow that intersect in difference ways. Hunt's writing style is different from what I usually read, but it didn't take long to adjust and get comfortable with her style. A strong Christian thread pulls together the different characters (not all Christians) in a relatable way.

There are a lot of moving parts in this story, which keep it engaging. I see that this is book one in a series, and it's not hard to imagine that Hunt could write several more books about her diverse and dynamic cast.

Rated PG.

I read most of my books while giving plasma. This is the first and only book that had me sitting in the restroom reading just a bit more before heading home. I really enjoyed this book. The characters feel like my friends and I can't wait to spend more time with these new friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating, Page Turner
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2023
Paper Dolls by author Kara Hunt is a contemporary Christian novel. This is the first in her Habakkuk Series that she is penning. It is captivating!

Set in the town of Habakkuk, this is the story of a group of friends (Kite Tanner, Priscilla Martin, Lydia Dooley, Eve Stockton, and Mary Rabin) and the beginning five chapters are devoted to each on of these ladies. It is an introduction to allow readers to become acquainted with them. Even before Chapter One, there is a cast of characters to help keep everyone straight. There are a lot of characters, but it is easy to understand everyone once you start reading.

Within a few pages, I was invested in Kite and ready to hear about the other ladies. The author has a lovely style of writing. The stories all come together in a brilliant fashion. Characters are realistic and relatable. They are flawed and lovable.

The story was fast paced and never boring. The author included twists and turns, a healthy amount of tension, rock solid friendships, complicated relationships, and a touch of comic relief. I loved the faith message of grace, praying, and trusting God.

I highly recommend this lovely book to every woman. This is a heartwarming book that will touch you and stay with you for a long time. It is perfect for a reading club. There is so much to discuss with the variety of women in the group. It earned a 5 star rating from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 4.5 ☆ intricate tapestry of interwoven stories about 5 women.
Reviewed in Australia on May 3, 2023

I'm big on women's fiction and really enjoyed Kara R Hunt's debut "Paper Dolls".

The story takes place in Habakkuk, small town USA, and flips between Mary, Eve, Priscilla, Kite and Lydia's point of views. Each journey was bittersweet, with challenges and tough decisions along with happier moments, and with 5 different POVs, there's a large cast, so stick with it in case you feel a little overwhelmed at the beginning trying to keep track of people etc.

I loved how these women were dealing with real life problems and struggled like we sometimes do in life, but how many clung to God in their time of need... like we should do in life. 😊 Some revelations were gritty, which added to the realism and heightened the tension. The dialogue between characters flowed naturally, and I got to a point where I couldn't put the book down.

A fabulous, gritty and unique Christian Fiction debut! Bravo!
