Sadie by Courtney Summers

  This book was given to me before release date. I did read it then, and posted about it on goodreads. However, I am just now getting to writting a real review.

  This book will just suck you in.  From the sentence at the end of the first chapter, I was hooked.

  "And it begins, as so many stories do, with a dead girl."

 This story is about a girl named Sadie, as she takes off to avenge the death of her sister Maddie. Through out the story we learn more and more about how Maddie died. And eventually we learn why Sadie would venture out, and take matters into her own hands.

  I really appreciated the story being told in two points of view. One viewpoint is Sadie's. Sadie's view point is interesting because we see how she is struggling, and how she intends to carry out her plans, and how things either go well, or how they go wrong.

  But, I really enjoyed the podcast viewpoint. It's something I hadn't seen before, and was really interesting. Through the podcast, and the viewpoint of the host of podcast we learn about Sadie, since she isn't telling us too much about herself. We learn about the girls upbringing, and their parents, as well as the woman who actually cared for them.

  The ending of this book really got to me, because we don't know what happens to Sadie. Did she survive, and just never return home? Or did things go south, and she completed her goal, but she didn't make it out either? I just don't know, and it makes me think about this book over and over again. I intend to re-read this book, because it just won't leave me. And I need more of it.


  Also, this isn't related to this book, but I am curious to know if book reviews should contain spoilers or not. I'm finding it hard to review the book without giving away details. Or should they contain spoilers, but have a warning first?  I think i'll read some reviews about books I love and see what they do.
