Like the cover - where the world is flipped upside down - nothing in Hostage is as it seems. It begins with Tully being taken Hostage by a boy from her school during a chemist scene gone wrong.

An ambitious work and clever premise that attempts to tell the story of a girl whose life is turned upside down through multiple POVS and bits and pieces of her "memory box". All within 24 hours.

Alright, considering there are no reviews, im gonna be the first!!!
I read HOSTAGE thinking it would a slightly creepy story about a girl he gets abducted, and is threatened-then somehow manages to escape.

She is taken into a car, then driven away. More...

A teenage fiction that covers the 24 hours after a girl is taken hostage - written in diary form. I found it quick to read but not as good as I had anticipated. Twist at the end.

kitabın arka yazısını okuyunca daha çok aksiyon-gerilim türü bişey zannetmiştim.. ama tullynin gecmisine annesi ve annesinin sevgilileriyle yaşadıkları olaylara daha çok yer verilmiş. geçmişe dönüş gibi olmuş.. hoştu ama beklentilerimi fazla karşılamadı..
