A review by cosmicwillow
Sadie by Courtney Summers

challenging dark emotional fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

wow. this was gripping and so so heartbreaking. i actually really liked the ending because it made the story all the more real.
not everything needs to be a completely happy ending. in real life, it usually isnt. i think the important thing is that sadie got her peace by (somewhat inadvertently) killing her abuser and her sister’s murderer, and the abuser of so many other girls.
highly recommend listening to the audiobook version, too. very evocative considering the way summers tells this story.
