Sadie
by Courtney Summers
4.25 Stars. I was provided an ebook of this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Sadie has always had to be the mom to her younger sister, Mattie. Their real mom has packed up and left them and now teenage Sadie is in charge. When Mattie turns up dead, Sadie embarks on a journey of revenge and self-discovery. Told in equal parts Sadie's story as well as a radio show, the story of Sadie will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what happens.
This book was a very fast read for me. I started it one night before bed and ended up staying up until I finished it. I was so captured by the character of Sadie. She is not perfect, she has a lot of flaws. She was a lisp and she is shy but she is on this mission to avenge her sister. The story also has chapters that are set up as a radio show where the host interviews people from Sadie's life. Those chapters really work to fill in gaps you would otherwise miss if you only had chapters from Sadie's POV.
The only reason this is not a five star read for me is that while Sadie is out trying to figure out where to go next and what clue she needs, she seems to figure everything out a little too fast. She doesn't really run into any dead ends and that seems somewhat unbelievable. Other than that small personal reason, I though this was almost a perfect book. I loved the mystery of it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a thriller type book that they could finish pretty quickly.
