Stolen
by Lucy Christopher
This book just GOT to me.
It's a story of a young sixteen year old girl,named Gemma, who is kidnapped by a man named Ty. And from the distance, before reading this book, you think it's going to be just another book about kidnapping, but it's so so SO much more. The author writes in an indescribably real and raw way of writing, not leaving any details out no matter how unflattering. I felt the entire book, and even when it was in a dull spot I found myself on edge, because I was never quite sure how she was going to end it.
This book made me understand Stockholm Syndrome on a level that I thought I'd never reach. I found myself falling for Ty, even knowing the creepy and verging on absolute psychotic things he thought and did. He was tender with Gemma, but his unsettling way of going by his love left me constantly intrigued. He drugged this young girl at an airport and took her to a absolutely secluded desert-like place. When she wakes she finds herself in a house that's surround by no other signs of civilization, stuck with a man who, in his own insane way, intensely cares for her.
Definitely an emotional read, at least for me. My mother found me sobbing intensely later after I finished it and brought me in a cup of tea. I was invested in a way that I was so thankful for, as I hadn't read a book that even slightly lured me in at all for such a loooong time. This book definitely hooked me and kept me to the end.
