The story is revealed through interviews with several people who were there after Sadie hit Fantasticland. At first, I really liked the idea. It made it all feel so much more personal to hear from the characters directly what it was like and what each and everyone saw, thought and felt. However, it became very quickly very repetitive. There are events and people that were described over and over again, to the point where they lost their "punch". When you read some stuff the first time, it's shocking. But after the fifth time, you just want to hear about something else.
And then there's the misogynistic tone in almost every chapter. 😒

Edit: 5 stars. Whenever anyone asks me to recommend a book I mention this. It's only fair to give it 5 stars.
