The thing is that there are a lot of good quality stories on Wattpad. For example, in the historical fiction genre and fantasy sections. This book is one of many works that manage to get loose in the real world that is very poor quality. I think that whoever allowed this book to be published should have said that it wasn't ready to be published. It is problematic, is poorly written, and very poor quality. The author herself is very problematic as well. She refuses to listen to the criticism directed to her stories.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS EXPECTING

[@siennadavid3692]

Actually, one of the girls Rose actually was in love with them. Before she was kidnapped, they were in love theoretically. He took her to his home hoping that she would be his wife, but she discovered the flower girls, which then "forced" him to convert her into a flower girl. He always wished that that didn't happen and that he could be her husband. Rose never wanted to hurt him and never wanted to escape. She was in love with him and he was in love with her. I know this because I read the book this summer [Ha, that's her name] on a beach trip because I finished my book and that was the book my friend brought.

The cellar sounds better than the forced triple dorm I had freshman year of college 😅😂

[@oliviavogel951]

Brooke Smith Same!

[@buddhamoktan4972]

I'm in triple dorm and it sucks. I cant get out for 2 more years.

[@katethemathnerd]

My number one takeaway from this review is that if I ever get kidnapped by a psychopath, I want Caleb to get kidnapped with me. We’d be out of that cellar in 30 minutes or less.

[@moonbunny24]

The whole “kidnapped girls who are renamed after flowers” setup was literally the premise for a creepypasta I read years ago omg this is so funny It even had where there had been other girls assigned the same flower name who’d been killed off

[@Spidermanslefttoenail]

I saw the thumbnail and was like who is this. Turns out it's just Caleb without glasses

[@stacyeileenn]

The changing their names to flowers is from an episode of Criminal Minds. 🌻

[@artificialgumi]

Omg that’s why it felt so familiar! I think that episode came out before the story though, but idk

[@bluemoore5874]

Do you remember what episode? I feel like that one will definitely have a better plot with the same concept.

[@angieriveraruiz8618]

Season 11 (Netflix)

[@alicelidell4114]

@@artificialgumi Nah, the book was published in 2014, the episode aired early 2016 :^) seems like they go to wattpad for inspiration but idk I don't watch Criminal Minds :)

Me: Caleb: Everyone: Lily: wHy diD hE dO tHaT??

[@Harry-cy5vz]

I LOVE it when main characters have low self-esteem. It's so quirky! Also, Lily could have easily made a shiv with that spatula. Hell she could have made mulitple shivs, form a take-down team with Violet and the others. She could also smash ANY appliances or furniture and fashion a weapon from it. SHE COULD EVEN CUT HER HAIR AND USE IT TO CHOKE CLOVER! But no. In this world, humans in captivity COULDN'T care less. I think if the author included just a little bit of action, this book would be way more interesting.

[@thecolourfulpill]

@Emily Maybe they have like... kids plastic knives and it just takes them hours. (you can still do a lot of harm with that, but whatever)

[@siriuslyconfused1]

The worst part is that a lot of time victims of kidnapping really don’t try to kill their captors despite having opportunities, and if this was actually well written they could have shown that, like have them be too afraid and mentally beaten down to attack him, but no, instead this book chooses to just make all these characters look like idiots.

[@longangrysausage3495]

lmao exactly. stupid flower girls

[@happyjellycatsquid]

She could have PEELED HIM! Or stabbed him with the peeler, I’m not picky

[@misfitmania4558]

If i remember correctly, he routinely checks in on them and doesn't give them anything even remotely useful to hurt him with except for the pans. And even then, he is Terrifying from what I can remember. Most of his power is what he has mentally convinced them of, which is the fact that he will immediately kill them if they try something. They also get like routinely raped by him which is physical and mental torture.

[@lydiaking6341]

Another thing that kind of annoyed me about Summer is that she constantly talks about missing Lewis, but not her parents or brother.

[@estrellaashleywilliams4061]

She did mentioned her family a few times but said that thinking about them made her depressed but thinking about Lewis made her more hopeful and I have the feeling that she wasn't that close to her family at all and felt that Lewis loves and cares for her more than her own family care about her.

[@exhaustedhomo7059]

SHE HAS A BROTHER?

[@Jack-jj8xx]

Why don't you peel him? 10/10 foolproof escape plan!

Oh my god I remember my friends talking about this on Wattpad when we were... like, 13. This is a blast from the past.

[@loveitsonlybabyscars6778]

Are we going to ignore the fact that they could have thrown boiling water on him ?????

[@UnusuallySunny]

They had pots and a working stove and no one’s thought to throw boiled water on him? I’d even vomit on him to try and throw him off for an escape!

[@Genericwhite_male]

The funny thing is summer literally suggested(or thought of) throwing a pot of boiling water on him…but never did. Like What’s the point of writing that into the story and not have the characters attempt to do it? 😭

[@erica2003girl1]

Does anyone remember an episode from criminal minds with a similar plot???? (The kidnapping and renaming the girls with flower names)

[@PsychadelicDudette]

Its called "The Hostage", from season 11, episode 14.

[@angelofthe2000s]

Paige Oschwald What’s the lifetime movie called?

[@paigeoschwald9159]

AngelSin i think it’s called “kept woman.” i actually found the villain dude really funny but it’s certainly not a movie to look at from a serious standpoint

the book came out before that episode :)

“The prostitutes are doing harm, harm to the innocent families of the men, that use them. So why doesn’t he kill the men?” Oh Caleb, you sweet summer child. Also, i loved how this was a 30 minute worth of Caleb bashing on the Socratic Method. I can just imagine him as a teacher. Student: tentatively raises hand Caleb: STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!!!!1!!1!!!!

[@tattooedbeauty6557]

She's written more than one book and in one of those books she's written has her main character falling in love with the man that kidnaps her.
