"Captured" by Rosa Lee is a novel that, despite its potential, falls short in several critical areas. The writing is often described as painfully awkward, making it difficult to connect with the characters or become immersed in the story. The plot is virtually nonexistent, focusing primarily on a girl sharing a dorm room with four boys, without meaningful development or depth. The protagonist's behavior is frequently cringeworthy, and attempts at humor consistently miss the mark. Additionally, the narrative lacks insight into the characters' daily lives, particularly their school experiences, resulting in missed opportunities for character development. Overall, the book's execution leaves much to be desired, making it a challenging read.
