The chapters set in Summer’s point of view follow her attempts and failures at an escape, while she tries to understand her capture and the girls she is forced to live with. In subsequent chapters from different perspectives, we are introduced to Clover, who is the one who kidnapped the girls and locked them down in his cellar. As you read, we find that he’s had a hard life.

As the book continues, there are a few chapters from the perspective of Lewis, Summer’s long-term boyfriend, though they don’t add much to the story other than a perspective of what the people closest to her are going through.

Below is a completely honest review of the book from my perspective. If you plan to read the book, or are currently reading it, and don’t want spoilers, I would skip past this. Or, if you don’t care and want to hear what I think, go ahead and read on, little bookworm.

An Honest Review

I personally LOVE Natasha Preston, and I’ve read many of her books in the past, The Cellar being the first book I’ve read from her. As a person who finds it really hard to sit down and read sometimes, the short chapters in this book make it really easy to read in one sitting.
