This is my first 5-star rating in a while. I really really liked this book. The only thing that I had trouble understanding was who was talking when it shifted to the podcast POV, but other than that it was really good. I love the…

First off, I highly recommend this title. I was unable to put the book down and looked forward to the story when I could pick it back up again. I then listened to the audio version; this is a first for me as I enjoy holding the book in my…

I read this book a few months ago on a road trip and I really enjoyed it. Previously, I read almost exclusively science fiction and fantasy. However, the thriller-like premise as well as the unique storytelling format really hooked me.…

I like he format is was written in. I wished it would have ended differently. The sad empty feeling it left me with just didn’t fulfill what I like books to fulfill. Wish there had been a trigger warning.

For fans of true crime podcasts, this Young Adult novel is written just like one. With that being said, it's even better to check out the audiobook version of Courtney Summers' Sadie. Produced with a full cast, each character is brought to…

The way it ends is most upsetting. Be prepared for that!

Pros: Well written ie keeps the reader intrigued. Cons: The reader eventually finds that the plot is about pedophile(s). Wish the advertising indicted this genre ie there should have been a trigger warning ! I read for entertainment -…

Sadie is a deceptive thriller that will leave you wanting more. The execution of this story was flawless. I became so engrossed with the story, that I was terribly sad when it ended. But what really kept me hooked, was the style of…

“Sadie” by Courtney Summers is an intense story, and one that is very difficult to put down. I was hooked from the first page, with the line “And it begins, as so many stories do, with a dead girl.” After that, the story only gets better…

I remember I read this one or two months ago, I remember it being my favorite, well, now it isn't, but it's still good.

I was so sad when I was listening to the audiobook that’s how emotional I felt when I was listening to this book. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook because you get a sense of the emotions of the character if that’s hard for you…

While I did not enjoy the podcast type narrative, the parts of the story where Sadie herself was narrating were excellent. Ultimately that's what kept me reading. A very good story!

I picked up this book as something different than I usually read, and it delivered. The podcast format works quite well, and the writing lends well to the mystery and suspense.

I listened to the audiobook for this for most part, and it was such a delight (especially the radio show parts, which I actually enjoyed far more as audio instead of reading). Here's my review from goodreads — On a more serious note…

I loved the audiobook version of this mystery/crime novel. It is told in alternating points of view from the missing Sadie and a podcast (with a full cast of characters) that is trying to find her. I could not stop listening to this book…

100% listen to the audio book version of this novel. A huge chunk of this novel is set up almost like an interview/ podcast show, so the wide range of voice actors just bring this novel to life. Also the main character Sadie has a speech…

I really enjoyed this book! I was unsure of how well the use of podcasting as a narrative device would play out, and was pleasantly surprised. I've been binging YA crime fiction lately and this one was the best of the bunch, hands down.

I know I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy novels, and that is because I enjoy analyzing and dealing with the real-world issues that they present me with in their context of a make-believe world with its own rule. But sometimes,…
