YA
Author of a bestselling YA trilogy, seventeen-year-old Livvy Flynn gets into a car accident on her way to a writers' retreat. An unknown woman rescues her only to take her hostage for a purported insult that Livvy needs to figure out to gain her freedom. This drama is slow moving with two obvious "twists," but Livvy's growing self-awareness is well drawn.
