The audiobook for this was incredible, particularly for the podcast sections. Definitely recommend listening to it as opposed to reading it physically

I listened to the audio book version so I’m sure it’s written just the same. Pretty much a podcast in book form. To be honest I don’t think I would have actually sat down and read it, so I do think the audiobook is great. Not gonna lie it left me teary eyed at the end.
Summary: When Sadie's sister is murdered, she takes it upon herself to track down her sister's killer. Revenge will be hers...or will it?
My first reaction upon finishing the book: What the...?!?!
Five reasons I like this book:
1. Sadie will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end. At the end of each chapter, you're still that Sadie will succeed in avenging her sister. You're also not sure that she's right about who the killer is.
2. This book is set up as a podcast that takes place after Sadie's story. The reader goes back and forth between the podcast telling the story and Sadie's actual story.
3. Sadie is an unconventional protagonist. She's poor, she didn't graduate from high school, and the only purpose she seems to have is to protect her younger sister. But, the girl has got some fight in her. Don't underestimate Sadie!
4. Courtney Summers draws attention to the inherent problems that go along with poverty...without pushing an agenda.
5. This message to girls: It is never too late to fight for your right to your own body!

I'm obsessed with this book, it was soooo good. The ending! Omg.
3.5 rounded up, although this isn't one I'll revisit. It's dark, and painful, and the ending isn't at all satisfying - but I don't think it's supposed to be.
Sadie will stick with me, whether I want her to or not.

Not your average YA book. Gritty and darker than expected. Read like a True Crime podcast (literally since some of it is a transcript of a podcast).
What an ADVENTURE this was to listen to.
This book was so well written and the audiobook was absolutely incredible. The sound effects, cast of characters, and voice acting made it RIVETING from start to finish and got me to finish it in 3 days in the middle of musical season.
I'm furious about the open ending. I respect it...but God damn it I NEED TO KNOW
