'Gravity' by Sara Bareilles, always
reminds me of 'Stolen' by Lucy Christopher. In short the book is about a
girl who is kidnapped from an airport and taken to the Australian outback by
her captor. Through the story she starts to develop a kind of Stockholm
Syndrome, torn between her feelings of hatred and 'love' for her captor. This
song reminds me of being held prisoner by your own feelings, unable to
escape and torn between loving and hating someone, wanting to be set free but
too afraid to leave.
"And
you expected me to love you. And that's the hardest part. Because I did
or at least, I loved something out there. But I hated you, too. I can't
forget that."
- Lucy Christopher (Stolen: A Letter to my Captor)

DeleteI don't think many people have read it, it was never a book that I planned to read. I just picked it up at the library by chance. Now, even almost a year after reading it, it's haunting beauty is still stuck with me.
Pretty Song

It really is a great book. It leaves you with so much to think about and you develop lots of contraindicating feeling for the lead male (or at least I did lol)
