What I’m not quite sure of is how I felt about Summer – at times shes strong and determined, a little impulsive and pretty up-front, but she also focuses completely on missing her boyfriend, not her family or other things about being outside the cellar, like, well blue sky for example, or sunshine. Which also makes it odd, because there are some very intense scenes, and Clover is completely insane. The Cellar doesn’t get REALLY dark – it does get pretty grim and in your face, but it’s not the kind of book that had me checking around at night to make sure there wasn’t a kidnapper under my bed or hiding in the garden. I don’t think it was in any particular order, and the length/frequency of them varies as the story progresses – sometimes short and sometimes long, it was actually one of the best multiple perspectives I’ve read in a while – I was interested in all sides of the story. The Cellar flicks through multiple perspectives – Summer, her boyfriend Lewis and Clover himself. Clover is obsessed with flowers, and that’s exactly what he calls the girls, Flowers. Imprisoned in a cellar by Colin/Clover she finds there are three other girls with her that have been held for varying lengths of time – Rose, Poppy and Violet, and Summer herself is renamed Lily. Summer is a teenager who finds herself kidnapped on her way to a party. These are the three phrases that defined The Cellar for me. Stockholm syndrome, a twisted psychopath and a dedicated boyfriend.
