But love is complicated. it's messy. It can inspire selflessness, selfishness, our greatest accomplishments and our hardest mistakes. It brings us together and it can just as easily drive us apart.

What to write as review for a book when you're struggling to hold back your tears.
Sadie is just a raw and brutal punch in the face. One moment it would chide you for not caring enough about the world, the next moment it'd make you feel helpless. That's what it did to me at least.

I can't say I'm altogether a different person after finishing the book.....but it has definitely brought back those moments of gratitude I feel sometimes, that I was born in a safe place.
And I can be cocooned in my shell all I want but it doesn't change the fact that I am a part of this world. A world where many Sadie's exist, a place where many Mattie's might have died, a place where people care after it's too late, a place where no one is safe enough.

And that's why Sadie feels so real, so harsh. Courtney summers makes sure you don't read something uncomfortable, something said out loud, rather she let it seep into your sub-conscious and force your mind to feel the pain which she hasn't explicitly described in words.

I am always pretty impulsive with my thoughts after finishing a book and it might happen later that for whatever reason, I may reduce the number of stars I gave to the book. But one thing which I'm sure will never change is how this book made me feel.
