The best producer audiobook I’ve ever listened too.

I wish the ending didn’t drop off the way it did. I feel like one more chapter from Sadie would have made more sense and provide closure for the character, though I can understand closure was not the purpose.

 I really enjoyed this book.

This story is something you devour immediately. We follow 2 POVs Sadie and the reporter trying to uncover where she is, and in the process we uncover more than we feel comfortable knowing about their lives. It is incredible in all parts of this book how manipulation was depicted, and how well paced the story was.
