I don't know what I expected from Sadie but it was a much different book than I imagined. Crime thrillers are not really my typical genre, but this one came highly reccommended by a friend. I enjoyed Sadie herself as a character - by far, she was the best part of the book and her narration was great. I was iffy on the dual narrative structure (as half the chapters are transcripts from a podcast about Sadie and her sister, Mattie) - but I think it ultimately made the ending stronger. Wish it ended differently. I don't know. I will be thinking about it for a long time.

I miss sadie :(

‘I don't expect it to bring her back. It won't bring her back. It's not about finding peace. There will never be peace.BI'm not under any illusion about how little of me will be left after I do this one thing.’

‘A world at the end of the world.’

‘I don’t want him to do what he's doing, talking to me like I'm some wild thing, like I can be calmed down with the gentleness he's dressed his voice in.’

‘"It'll h-heal f-fine."It'll heal ugly.” Most things do’
