Major content and trigger warnings for pedophilia, child abuse, drug addiction, and abandonment. This narrative absolutely gripped me as I read, reading furiously to find the place where the perspectives would merge and all the pieces would fall into place.Įven before Mattie was murdered, Sadie experienced more than her fair share of heartbreak.

The book is told through alternating perspectives: a true crime podcast in the same vein as Serial and in Sadie’s perspective told months apart. “You aren’t supposed to answer violence with more violence but sometimes I think violence is the only answer.” This book is definitely worth all of the hype it’s received and I recommend it wholeheartedly. This is a powerful, unique, and sad story that tackles tough topics but provides some amazing representation. Sadie by Courtney Summers was my first read of 2019 and I devoured it in one sitting. 😭😭😭 It’s been a bit over a week since I finished Sadie and I am still struggling to find the words to adequately review it.
