"Stolen" by Lucy Christopher

Books & Bagels Club
"Stolen"
by Lucy Christopher

You saw me before I saw you.
A girl: Gemma, at the airport, on her way to a family vacation.
You had that look in your eyes.
A guy: Ty, rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar, eyes blue as ice.
Like you wanted me.

She steps away. For just a second. He pays for her drink. And  drugs it.
Wanted me for a long time.
He takes her, before she even knows what's happening. To sand and heat. To emptiness and isolation. To nowhere. And expects her to love him.

  2. Stolen is written as a letter from Gemma to her abductor, Ty. Do you think this format makes you feel closer to the characters?
