This book did irreversible, irreparable psychic and psychological damage to my 14 year old brain and if I could turn back the sands of time I wouldn't change a fuckin' thing.

I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. In the beginning I wasn't even sure if I was going to be able to finish it. The whole premise disgusted me and the author does such an amazing job of making you feel what the main character, Gemma, is feeling. It is written in first person by Gemma, to her kidnapper recounting everything that happened while she was with him. Because it is written this way, you're really feeling everything with so much depth and detail I was shocked by how much I was relating with her near the end. Im still so torn by everything that happened I think I flew through the last 100 pages in half the time it would usually take me and I still don't know how I feel. Through the whole book I caught myself thinking about how I would react if I was in Gemma's situation and what I would have done in her shoes but I have no idea. This is easily one of the most intense and real books I have read this year and it breaks my heart knowing how easily this could actually happen to someone. This book will rip out your heart and stomp on it and I will be recommending it to anyone I get the chance to.

This book is pretty hard to rate. I liked the writing style, but tagging this as a thriller just made me expect more out of it.
