Stolen

"It’s pretty demented and you’ll hate yourself for liking it, but you’ll love it. "

"It’s okay"

"I really like how it was written in a letter form! I do feel like it the pacing was a little rushed at the end but overall I really did like this book"

"It was a decent book"

"This is a great book! Don’t get me wrong, everything in it made me think that’s so not okay, but it’s just too good. Stolen really made me thing the bad guy wasn’t the bad guy. #Stockholm-syndrome #hate-to-love-it "

"Gemma is a normal young girl goes to school, struggles to fit well with her peers, and doubting her parent's love. Soon her entire life is turned upside down and finds herself abducted from the Bangkok airport by a man she knows, but can't remember why. He is young and striking, coercing her into drinking a coffee he purchased and spiked for her. She wakes up and finds herself in the middle of nowhere, in a dry, hot desert with her capture. As she struggles through trying to understand who he is and why he chose her, she also finds more about herself along the journey. <br/><br/>Gemma's story is told through her eyes in a letter to her abductor, experiencing the moments of confused emotions, fear, and hope. This was a great read, that only took a short time to get through. A great rainy day book. I give this a four star review for the readability and the author's skill at enticing our minds to live with her capture for those weeks."

"A book where the author makes you like the antagonist to the point where you and the main character are left with Stockholm Syndrom. 😵 "

"all i remember about this was that i read it in elementary school and that the main character was stuck in the desert. it was some type of fever dream i swear "

"at first i wasn’t super interested as the writing is pretty simple, but i love how the imagery and dialogue balances out perfectly, and how her story just played out itself. but i also feel like the ending was kinda rushed and i was anticipating a stronger last chapter that really made me think :( . 4.5!!"

"An interesting read, but not the ending i expected. I dont know what i was expecting tbh. I think my brain is all kinds of confused, i can only imagine how the main character feels. Like the main character, i made excuses and made it acceptable what the antogonist did, but then i realized there is no excuse and the author successfully did her job in warping my brain."
