aakehl 's review for:

The Girl Who Was Taken by Charlie Donlea
3.0

The positives: the book will hold our attention and it's an easy listen. The story is sort of interesting and at least interesting enough to keep going. The negatives: the characters aren't that likable. The flashbacks to high school days are very cliche. The relationship between Megan and her parents, especially the dad, is super cringe. The premise of a kidnapping club is unbelievable but it does bring up for consideration people's gross obsession with people who've been kidnapped. Overall, I'm glad to be move on from this book.
