Which of the three endings did you want?

[[deleted user]]

SPOILERS- So at the end of the book Gemma has three options about what to say in court
1)Ty drugged and kidnapped her.
2)Gemma helped plan her kidnap and agreed to it.
3)Somewhere in the middle--Ty did drug and kidnap her, but he treated her kindly and she is okay with what he did.

Personally, I would have liked option three: the truth, or option two would have been good too.

This book made me so mad, and angry, but I for some inexplicable reason LOVED IT. I would have been happy with option three, and even happier with option two even though it is far, far, far, removed from the truth. Most importantly I wanted them to somehow end up together. My mind is incapable of not searching for a happily ever after. I did rewrite the ending in my mind where everyone was happy, a habit I have with books that's leave me sad.

I really just hope it wasn't option 1 :(

I had Stockholm Syndrome along with Gemma and wanted them to end up together. But I think the ending was the right one because in the end Ty did kidnap her. He took her from her friends, family, and life and forced her to live with him. Although I don't think he is evil and he obviously had a lot of issues from his childhood he shouldn't get away with it. I do hope that Gemma said that he was nice and that he was hopefully placed into a mental institution and got the help he needed and was released instead of spending a long time in prison. But part of me will always wonder what would have happened if that snake didn't bite her? And part of me will always wish that they had somehow ended up together.

option 1
i never liked ty
but i accepted him for saving her before
but i will NEVER like ty. in fact i hate him.
and gemma.
god damn gemma.
if i was kidnapped from a privileged life of travel and awesomeness. i would be scared and withdrawn. i would never ever stop hating ty. i would find a way to escape and if i didn't i would stay there forever and vow to be a better person if i ever did escape.
but i felt so disgusted by what ty did.
i felt so wronged.
i would like people to tell me why they like him, i'm not being a sarcastic little shit, i genuinely want to know.
i just dont understand.

anyways.
i want to say option one, but gemma will probably say 2 :/

I prefer option number 3 too and I really hope for a sequel.

I LOVED this book! It is supposed to make you feel conflicted about Ty. I cried my eyes out when they left the camel and the camel moaned because it was sad and didn't understand why they were leaving.

agreed. I loved this book. I did not want to believe her love was a result of Stockholm syndrome, but her changing into being able to love, accept, and understand him. I felt the same way with Phantom of the Opera...

Option 3.

This book has the one big debate on whether or not Gemma had Stockholm Sydrome. Before I picked up the book,I already knew about the deabte because of YouTube reviews, and already decided that she did suffer from Stockholm Sydrome. How could there be a debate about that?
Then, I read the book.
I coould'nt wrap my head around Ty. He was so confsuing, but so simple. And, Gemma learned new things while with him, saw the world on a new way. She went from fearing this man to loving him. We lived the story through her eyes. It made the whole thing a little confusing.
But, after the book wws finished and I thought about it, I decided that Ty really did love Gemma. It wasn't a normal kind of love, and what he did was wrong, but I believe he did love her. As for Gemma, I decided that I still believe it was mostly Stockholm Sydrome. I do not think that she really loved Ty, but I do think she liked him. He taught her new views, treated her well in most cases, showed her love that every teenager craves, and saved her life. So, love no. Like, yes. Sounds weird, but it was how I lookee at the story. I think she liked him, was afraid she would never get home, and became infactuated with him because of she didn't fall for him, how would she be okay?

So, option 3 would suit me besr for sure.

Opinion 3, because those are her inner thoughts.

I totally agree with you. There is no reason to like Ty. I hated him. What he did was wrong, and this discussion makes me feel some kind of way because if any one of us was drugged and kidnapped in real life this wouldn't have been romantisized. It's a serious problem and Stolkholm Syndrome is real and confusing. I am going to go with number 1 because it's the truth.

If Ty was unattractive then this wouldn't have been a question. This girl was forced into isolation with a stranger so in other words, forced to like/love him as a means of survival.
