Sadie by Courtney Summers
5.0
When I first picked this book up a year or so ago, I read the first bit and had to put it down. Not because it was a bad book, but simply because I knew I just needed the audiobook as well. When I found out my library had it, I instantly had it on hold. I started reading/listening the night I got it.
I could have easily finished this book within one sitting. The only reason I didn't is simply that life doesn't always allow that. This book is something else. I needed and still need to know what happened.
I HIGHLY recommend listening to at least the podcast sections of the book in audio form, which is what I did. It honestly takes it to another level. This book is something that I didn't know I needed to read. There are warnings people need to be aware of in case they cannot handle situations such as child abuse, pedophilia, violence, or substance abuse. Not that the book goes into much detail about certain topics, they are in this book.
I'm going to be honest, my brain is not fully wrapped around this book but yet at the same time, it is. As mentioned before, I didn't know that this book was something I needed to read. It almost opens your eyes to things. After all, people don't change. They just get better at hiding who they really are.
EDIT: I just read on a blog review that the podcast from this book is actually available. I was able to find it on Spotify by searching 'The Girls: Find Sadie'. I have not listened to it and I don't know if I will. I will update if I do and find that it is different than the books podcast. Though, I highly doubt that. Bouns: There is a interview with Courtney Summers as well on Spotify.
