I love this book. I read it back in highschool and decided to give it a reread when I found out there is finally a sequel. It was just as gut wrenching as I remembered.
Complicated and by far the most realistic kidnapping fiction I've ever read. They don't shy away from the wrong but allow for all the grey areas life can have. I can't wait to read the sequel.

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.
