I love the way Courtney Summers tells this story. The complexity of this story could not be accurately conveyed through typical storytelling. The split between past Sadie, a girl hellbent on avenging her murdered little sister and present-day West, a journalist trying to find Sadie and share her story through and eight-episode podcast. This book tore me apart and stitched me back up again. It convinces you its fantasy while reminding you that the atrocities are very much true for many people.
