This book will make you feel mixed feelings. You can truly feel everything the main character is feeling. It such an emotional rollercoaster. You never know what you truly want throughout the book. It had a satisfying ending.
The book started our very intriguing but once I got 60-100 pages in I was thinking more “what’s next” like something new and exciting needs to happen. It was a very good book overall I just felt it dragged on for a bit in the middle. I loved the ending!!
Other than being a little slow-moving, this was really good. A very simple telling of a very complicated story. There's a lot to think about once you're finished. The exploration of Stockholm syndrome and how it happens is fascinating. The delicate psychological balance of adapting to an unadaptable situation while still remaining in fight/flight mode is a testament to human survival. All those who are tempted to sigh in love-struck awe over Ty, remember, you're inside the mind of a captive. Reading the thoughts of a victim. Remember that as you make your way through the novel. I found the ending to be a perfect culmination of events.
I get that this book was trying to display what Stockholm syndrome is like to the victim. But I still couldn't stomach what Ty did. Kidnapping someone is never okay, no matter how "troubled" the perpetrator might be. Sorry, not buying this.
This story is an absolute stunner. It's so descriptive and beautifully told. Set in the Australian Outback, the land itself definitely becomes a character through Christopher's incredible writing. Stolen is disturbing, it's heart-wrenching and it will leave you aching.

I read this book because my English teacher recommended it to me, so I went in with really high hopes. Said high hopes were repeatedly crushed as I continued to read.
First off, I never connected with Gemma's character. She comes from a rich family, she willingly talked to a stranger way older than her, and honestly even as the book progressed, she just felt flat.
My other qualm with this book is Ty's redemption. Using his sad backstory and "good intentions" doesn't justify his actions. I don't care how hot he is, he's a creep that has been stalking Gemma since she was a literal child. There is a nine-year age gap!
This book gave me the ick, sorry.

I liked this book I really did. I knew what I was getting into when I picked up this book but I still wasn't expecting what I got I didn't expect that I would feel torn between loving and hating ty but I was.
