Allie broke the Heart Code and thought she’d finally earned her happily ever after with Kaden.

 

But one more ride on her cursed swing and a hard plastic landing later… she's trapped in 1961 Dollietopia. Freshly unboxed and literally back at square one.

 

Toytell’s marketing team has a new agenda: give Dollies husbands so they appear “complete” by society’s standards. The President Dollie sees this as a direct threat to their mission—to achieve big dreams and inspire girls.

 

Her solution? Reverse the patriarchy and box up the boys. Permanently.

 

While searching for a way out of the past, Allie meets Kenneth: a brilliant, soulful, slightly rule-breaking boy-Dollie who makes her question everything—including her heart. He’s not quite as sweet as Kaden, but his mind lights a fire in her that makes her burn for him.

 

With Kenneth’s help, Allie uncovers the truth behind her strange returns to Dollietopia: she was never just a doll. She’s the failsafe—built to intervene if the Dollies ever become sentient and overcorrect.

 

Allie plays along... until she risks everything to speak the truth.

 

That’s when things get dangerous.

 

Can’t Dollies empower girls, coexist with boys, and choose love—if they want to—without losing themselves?

 

With retro chaos, subversive romance, and razor-sharp satire, The Brilliant Burn is a fierce, glitter-filled sequel about love, hard choices, and the fire it takes to set history right.
