Check trigger warnings as this deals with very hard topics. This book was so well done. I found the format very impactful, especially with the way it plays out towards the end. I really enjoyed the mixed media element with the podcast and the way the author combined it with the first-person pov. The thing that stood out most was how certain things weren't believed because of appearances. I found the communication struggles of Sadie to be well done. This one will be sticking with me for a while.

Lord have mercy, this book was DARK. Don’t expect this book to be a light YA mystery thriller, bcs it’s not!! It was so depressing and gut-wrenching, especially bcs Sadie took off with the grief she felt after the death of her sister. It left me feeling sad and empty….

Highly recommend the audiobook; the production is just chef's kiss!!
