Told in the intimate, hypnotic voice of a girl trying to grow up without unraveling, Doll Baby paints a portrait of girlhood in all its hunger, softness, and sharp edges. 

From the sunburned San Fernando Valley to the seductive ruins of Hollywood, Jolie's story unfolds across a decade of becoming—between ages fifteen to twenty-five. She drifts through college dorm rooms, strip malls, and rooftop parties, tangled in the arms of men who can't quite hold her, haunted by the question she can't shake: Who am I when I'm not performing for someone else?

Lyrical, biting, and achingly tender, Doll Baby captures what it means to come of age in a city built on illusions, conditioned by attention and privilege, and the delicate, radical act of no longer waiting to be chosen—of finally choosing yourself instead.
