Sadie
by Courtney Summers
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars
Sadie is a story about a missing girl on a journey of revenge.
This book hit me hard! I needed some time to really get into the story, about 80 pages and once I was in, I finished to other 250 pages in one sitting. The way the book is written is such an interesting take on writing a mystery novel.
The chills and feelings I got while reading it made it that much more real to me. Almost like it was a story that truly happened. The book is a bit uncomfortable to read sometimes, because it feels so real.
Sadie’s chapters are haunting and sometimes a bit creepy. The story of loss and betrayal wrapped around her while she’s dealing with heartache and grief. The love she has for her sister was heartwarming and heartbreaking to read at the same time. The podcast chapters were a really interesting take on telling Sadie’s story. You get really invested in what is being said by the characters about their side of the story and where it fits in with what you’ve read from Sadie’s POV.
Towards the end you feel the pace quicken and the urgency gets heightened. I felt the dread as the ending was approaching and the story pulled me in deeper and deeper. The horror’s coming to light every time a new truth was revealed was haunting and I somehow kept wishing my dark suspicions weren’t true. The many questions that keep swirling in your mind come down to one conclusion; I also can’t take another dead girl.
Overall, Sadie is a story that confronts you with horrible truths and the monsters that live on this earth. It’s haunting, chilling and heartbreaking. It felt like a true story that needed telling.
