(Grade: A) The unique format with the Podcast interspersed with Sadie's POV makes it perfect for Audio. Many reviews for this will tell you this is one of those difficult to read stories, and I'm not saying that it isn't, only that it deals with these elements in a way that isn't quite so traumatizing as it could be. Sadie's haunting story left me feeling saddened but hopeful...hopeful, at least, for a better ending than what she's been given by the Author, anyway.

Sadie is probably one of the best books I've ever read. Like the hype is warranted because this book is a whirlwind of a heart pounding ride and I may never recover from it, but it's fine it's okay.
If you're thinking about reading this book but don't have the motivation, this is your sign that you have to do it. Just read it, read the book, listen to the audio book too.

izzy (Grade: A) CW/TW: Rape, pedophilia, murder First up listen to this in audio form if you can. This isn't exactly an easy read but it's a really engaging read. I blew through the audiobook in one day. Wow. This was a ride and so well done.

breanalynae (Grade: A) Holy shit. This book was phenomenal. Heart wrenching? Yes. Fucked up? Yes. This fully put on display the worst pieces of humanity. This is not the type of book to read if you’re looking for an escape. But this is so incredibly important, and if this content isn’t triggering for you, absolutely read this.
