It certainly reminded me of a few true crime podcasts that I had listened to, with a more fun fictional twist as we got in the mind of the character that was the main character.

It was difficult, it was dark, and it was written really well. So for the remainder of the book, I didn’t have the additional podcast narration so I just read through it. The only bummer here was that the feeds stopped at episode six, which was episode five in the book.

It was SO much fun listening along to the podcast while reading! I especially loved that the podcast only covered the chapters that were formatted like the podcast, and that you could pause to then read the section that were focused on what Sadie was doing. When Heather texted me to remind me of the podcast, I went to subscribe immediately. When I started reading, I was so excited to see that some of it was set up in podcast format, like we were reading the transcription! The two story lines worked so wonderfully together! This was definitely a case where I had trouble putting the book down because I just wanted to hurry up and see if the two story lines ever converged, and how everything would turn out!Įven though I knew the buzz around this book was still pretty active, I had totally forgotten what the premise was. Meanwhile, the podcast episodes are broken up by the story of Sadie and what she actually did. He is hesitant to dive in at first as he doesn’t think that there is much of a story there, but he quickly becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl.Īs the story continues, we follow West as he picks up clues here and there and gets closer to figuring out what exactly was going on. In this tale, we follow West McCray who is a a radio personality that overheard Sadie’s story at a local gas station while on another assignment. Let’s dive in! My Thoughts on Sadie by Courtney Summers I’m so glad that I was finally able to get to it! I was gifted a copy of this book for my birthday from my friend Heather, but unfortunately the book fell down my TBR list. Sadie by Courtney Summers is a YA mystery that follows two story lines one of a podcaster as he worked to unravel the story of a missing girl, and the other about life of the girl that goes missing.
