Feature and Follow (2)

Here’s this week’s question: Is there a song that reminds you of a book? Or vice versa? What is the song & the book?
  
'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)

      I 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.

    1. 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)

      Off to check out your blog, thanks for following!
