I was drawn in by the stunning cover art and the rave reviews, but the ended up being too much for me. #bookthatisoutofyourcomfortzone #selfimprovementsept @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
so-soI didn't love this one and I really don't understand the hype. I think I am the only one.🤷🏻♀️
⭐⭐⭐
pickQuite a few Littens had recommended listening to this one, and I have to completely agree. I feel like this book was made to be listened to. It was so engaging, but I‘m also completely addicted to podcasts so this was right up my alley. Sadie was such a unique character and I enjoyed her so much. This was one of my most fun, engaging reads of the year. I zoomed through it
pickOh, wow! I listened to this on Audible and can‘t stop thinking about it! What an intense story with incredible characters. Now I want to read more by Courtney Summers! I have been recommending this to everyone who loves a good twisted story of revenge. **Trigger warning: child abuse- sexual assault
pickOooooofff. This was a tough one. Tough enough I had to augment my reading time on this super rainy day by baking/grilling English muffins. I understand why some who have read this were less than satisfied after finishing it. Simply put, it hurts to care for people who are suffering - real or not. And it really hurts when their story may not end as you‘d hoped. But that was why I give this book a pick. It was hard to read because it felt real.
Curled up in bed with a good book and a glass of wine 🍷 #mykindofsaturdaynight
pickSadie is a self-reliant, strong young woman who never really got to be a kid. This novel deals with themes of violence, murder, abuse, addiction, pedophilia, grief and revenge. You get Sadie's story as it unfolds alternating with a podcast that deals with Sadie's sister's murder and Sadie's disappearance. A disturbing YA thriller.
so-soEntertaining overall, but as a podcast listener I thought they did the host dirty to make her out to be some opportunistic bitch, when most podcast journalist are lovely & genuinely concerned. Also the whole mystery kind of lacked buildup and was just a information dump at the end.
"Money burns fast. Knowing that doesn't get easier with age and it's worse when you learn it young. The beauty of childhood is not entirely grasping the cost of living; food just appears in the fridge, you have a roof over your head because everyone does and electricity must be some kind of sorcery, like right out of Harry Potter or something, because who could ever put a price on light?"
