"& this story begins, as so many stories do, with a dead girl"
ohh boy. ok. well.
sadie by courtney summers is the story of a girl named sadie. pretty obvious but anyway. sadie lived in cold creek, colorado, with her sister mattie, and their sort of adoptive grandmother? may beth foster. their mother, claire, is pretty much out of the picture. at the very beginning of the book we are told that mattie went missing and was then subsequently murdered. she was 13. through alternating perspectives of sadie, and through a podcast that talks about the story that surrounds her, we get to hear the heartbreaking story of "family, sisters, small town america, the lengths we go to protect the ones we love ... and the high price we pay when we can't"
first off the alternating perspective was absolutely genius. the writing was impeccable. i cant stop thinking about it.
this story is the story of so many little girls. it was soul destroying and it was definitely meant to be. in the past year alone i have been exposed to so many stories like this, which unfortunately, are in high abundance in south africa. why must society be this way ?
this is an important book that all people should read. read it an sob because this is the world we live in.
