Good read!
Courtney Summers takes us through the story of a young girl who has run away from home with the thought of seeking revenge for the death of her younger sister. She is searching for the man responsible for her murder and so much more. Will Sadie complete her self-made task? And a better question, will anyone ever see Sadie again? This book is written in a very interesting way. There are two main perspectives in this book. One comes from Sadie herself and the other comes from a radio show host who interviews pertinent people to her case. As the book switches back and forth between the two perspectives you get a feel for both Sadie and her little sister Mattie as well as the people surrounding them in their lives and the people that Sadie comes in contact with in her relentless search for the man responsible for Mattie's murder. although the book switches back and forth between the two perspectives it is not difficult to follow the storyline. This is actually a very easy read. I personally thought this book was good but I'm just going to leave it at that. I don't quite understand all the hype over this book because it wasn't outstanding per se. It was written very well and forms a very unique perspective of the storyline. There were several parts where I felt like I just wanted the story to get on with it and get to the point. I felt that some parts lagged along a little. I also felt that the ending, though interesting, left the reader wanting. I felt that for a story such as this the reader needs a little bit more closure at the end instead of what we got which was "maybe" and "could be". I didn't dislike the book enough to give it a thumbs down however. And I would definitely recommend this book to people who like young adult and thriller books.
