Amy Chelsea Stacie Dee by Mary G. Thompson
3.0
When they were only 10 and 12, Amy and Dee were kidnapped. The police, as well as their friends and families, went searching for the pair, but they couldn't be found anywhere. Six years later, and without any explanation, Amy comes back. Responding to the name of Chelsea, wearing only purple, and holding a doll wearing all pink, she definitely isn't the same girl that left. And then there's the question on everyone's lips... Where is Dee? And how did Amy get away from their kidnapper? The police reopen the girls' case, but they need information from Amy to find the kidnapper, and Dee. Only, Amy refuses to talk, and they're pushing her for answers that she's determined not to give. Can Amy go back to being the girl she was before their kidnapping, or did too much change for her to live a normal life?
This book... I don't even know where to start. I really did enjoy it, and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. There were several parts in the book that I found hard to read, for various reasons, be it emotionally or not, and even though the plot seemed pretty straightforward, there were still some turns that I wasn't expecting. The reactions that people were giving off in the novel were what I would imagine to be realistic, and although there was a lot of anger to contend with, there was also a lot of love. I am honestly in awe of all the characters, and their strength throughout the trials they face in the novel. Put in their situation, I honestly don't know what I would do or how I would carry on, and that's not just Amy and Dee, but their families as well. A good book, but one that I would suggest not allowing a less mature reader get hold of, as there are a few very sensitive topics talked about.
