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.

A story that shows that monsters hide in plain sight. A story of two girls whom the adults failed to protect.
