"A missing girl on a journey of revenge. A Serial-like podcast following the clues she's left behind. And an ending you won't be able to stop talking about.
Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water.
But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meagre clues to find him.
When West McCray- a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America- overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.
Courtney Summers has written the breakout book of her career. Sadie is propulsive and harrowing and will keep you riveted until the last page."
My Rating: 4/5
This book was so original and interesting. I loved that this has such alternating perspectives. I think that its a story that we have come so used to hearing (to an extent) that we filter it out or avoid it. But people who have handled abuse, or pain are still people not just victims. I hate to use the word enjoyed, but I did enjoy the narrations and the changing points of view, but it was alot to handle at some points. I will say that this book did feel slightly too hyped and that is reflected in my rating. This book makes you uncomfortable in a way that reminds you of the world we live in while trying to remain hopeful.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
