Tears were continuously flowing from my eyes throughout the book, especially in the end. It makes you think about how you would act in Gemma’s place, how you would feel toward Ty, and what choice you would make in the end. Stolen was a very intense read, and definitely a life-changing one. The book would have been amazing on its own, without it’s unique writing style, but Lucy Christopher created a letter from Gemma to her captor shedding light on the characters, their feelings, confusion, and time when they were together. The story that Stolen tells is beautiful, heartfelt, emotional, and gripping. Her praise for Stolen was bigger than I’d ever seen over a book she’d read before. My friend was 100% correct to be talking about this book like she did. I knew by the way she talked about it that it MUST be good if she was raving about it like she did before she even completed it. I finally caved and bought it after it came highly recommended to my by a friend of mine before she even finished the book. Stolen was a book that I’d been eyeing for a very long time, as it has been out since 2009, it was brought to my attention on various occasions.

Written as a letter from a victim to her captor, STOLEN is Gemma’s desperate story of survival of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare–or die trying to fight it. And before Gemma knows what’s happening, Ty takes her. Genre(s): Contemporary, Realistic FictionĪ girl: Gemma, 16, at the airport, on her way to a family vacation.Ī guy: Ty, rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar, eyes blue as ice.
