A stunning debut novel with an intriguing literary hook: written in part as a letter from a victim to her abductor. Sensitive, sharp, captivating!Gemma, 16, is on layover at Bangkok Airport, en route with her parents to a vacation in Vietnam. She steps away for just a second, to get a cup of coffee. Ty--rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar--pays for Gemma's drink. And drugs it. They talk. Their hands touch. And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her. Steals her away. The unknowing object of a long obsession, Gemma has been kidnapped by her stalker and brought to the desolate Australian Outback. STOLEN is her gripping story of survival, of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it.

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

"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 "

"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."

"The way this book just loops you for a real one is crazy. While reading I forgot she was narrating the story. It felt like I was just reading her present. And when the book ended the way it did, my mind felt blank it was unreal. It really messes with you and makes you miss somewhere you’ve never been."
