Sadie is a heartbreaking story of loss, grief, and sisterhood that everyone should definitely read.

These are the words my mind can spit out without giving away too much, but I hope, thriller fans or not, that you’ll give this book a try. It’s a tragic yet compelling page-turner that will definitely keep you on your toes. Sadie is definitely one of my favorite books of all time. Of course, I wouldn’t say anything about the ending, but this chase really got me hanging on every second.

There was the illusion of hope that McCray would find Sadie and help her. I also liked how it seemed like Sadie was always one step ahead of McCray. She’s definitely one of the best-crafted characters in YA and I really love her character development. Her raw emotions made her both vulnerable yet strong at the same time. She wrote Sadie perfectly which made it easy to root for her. This was the first book I read from her and I really need to remedy that. Listening to the audiobook with the full cast was a delightful experience!Ĭourtney Summers is a genius. It definitely heightened my reading experience. Reading this book was like hitting two birds with one stone for me because I got a mystery novel and a true crime podcast complete with actual interviews. One through the point of view of Sadie herself, the other through West McCray’s podcast called “ The Girls“. The novel was told in a very compelling manner. I literally was at the edge of my seat because it was intense.

Though, unlike others, I didn’t devour this book in one sitting, because this was brutally honest and raw. In case you didn’t know, I love true crime podcasts as much as I love thriller YAs and the minute I saw the synopsis for this book, I immediately added it to my TBR. I was originally going to read the ARC version of it, but as I started it and saw how it was written, I got the audiobook instead and I wasn’t disappointed! Sadie isn’t an ordinary audiobook, as it isn’t an ordinary book.
