Author: April Henry
From GoodReads, "Sixteen year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of a car while her mom fills her prescription at the pharmacy. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, their car is being stolen—with her inside! Griffin hadn’t meant to kidnap Cheyenne, all he needed to do was steal a car for the others. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne’s father is the president of a powerful corporation, everything changes—now there’s a reason to keep her. What Griffin doesn’t know is that Cheyenne is not only sick with pneumonia, she is blind. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare, and if she does, at what price?"
This book starts off intensely (an accidental kidnapping) and never lets go. Every moment of this book was fascinating and unpredictable. I loved the main character, Cheyanne. She was likable, believable, and each and every moment of her ordeal, I felt like I was living it right along with her.
I also liked the character of Griffin, who the readers get to know because they also get to see his perspective. We learn at the same time as Cheyanne that he isn't the person she thinks he is.
This novel is an intense read that contains many twists and turns that add to the story. A particularly harrowing scene at the end really added to the suspense of the novel. April Henry should be proud of this book and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
