ida's review

Have you ever read a book and wanted to throw it at a wall? A book that made you sob while reading it? This book is that kind of book for me.
Sadie's story is so heartbreaking and I can't seem to stop thinking about her. She went through so much abuse and hurt and she just kept fighting.
The audiobook is a stroke of genius. With a cast of over 30, each character has its own voice. The book contains two point of views: Sadie and podcast host West McCray. Sadie's parts are visceral and she will get under your skin with her heart and courage. West McCray's parts take the form of podcast transcripts, but in the audiobook it's actually like listening to a real podcast, phone interviews and all, and it just works so well.
Some severe trigger warnings are needed for this book, including pedophilia, and at times I felt physically sick.
I honestly don't think I would have read this book, if I had known all the trigger warnings, but I'm glad I did, because it feels like I got to meet Sadie and I wouldn't have been without that experience for the world.
