Sadie by Courtney Summers
5.0
This was so good! Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. The story was well-paced and the characters believable. The author let us know horrific things had happened and that PTSD was at play in Sadie's character without writing out a play-by-play of her trauma in graphic detail - proving that you can write about difficult topics without turning it into trauma-porn. I forgot I was reading a "YA novel" which for me is the mark of a good YA novel. As a listener of true-crime podcasts I really enjoyed that aspect to the story.
Normally I hate open-ended novels but I think the author gave us enough information for us to make our own conclusion.
