Stolen By Lucy Christopher
Ratings: A very unsure 3.5 of 5 stars
Where to even begin with a review on a story like this...
Let me start off by saying that this was not an easy story to read. I do want to say, however, that Stolen was not what I expected. When I went into it, I was almost expecting an eventual romance, but there is none and I'm glad there isn't. Stolen is a novel of abduction, but it is also a novel of hope and faith and beauty. I only really fell in love with Stolen seven pages from the end; until then, I was on the fence ready to bolt if necessary.
The story starts with Gemma sitting at a coffee shop in the Bangkok airport checking out an apparently random but seemingly familiar guy. Little did she know that this guy knew her better than any other living person in the world.They strike up a conversation and the next thing she knows she's drugged, kidnapped and brought to the middle of nowhere.Stolen is written as a letter from the kidnapped young girl, Gemma, to the man who took her from her family and the life she knew, Ty.
*(spoiler alert)*
It's like having the devil and angel on your shoulder! So, yes, he kidnapped her. But he also loved her passionately. He knew he was going to go to prison, but he chose to stay by her side and save her life. That's what I loved about him the most. The fact that he ran miles to save her life.
Ugh, I'm getting conflicted again.
The way the author has written it, the story seems much more realistic than many other captivity stories I've read so far.Again, I can't really express my feelings about this book, but it was definitely one of the most intense book I've ever read. I couldn't put it down so thanks Yashika for recommending this book to me.
