Review of Sadie by Courtney Summers

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water. 

But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager  clues to find him.

When West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.

My Review
5 Stars

This was a heart wrenching story. Sadie had so much that she could have lived for and instead gave up all of that to take care of her sister. A sister that like any other really didn't appreciate everything her sister did after their mother ran off. 

After Mattie is found dead something snaps in Sadie. There is only one thing that matters anymore, finding the person who killed her sister. 

Through small clues and reluctant witnesses, Sadie takes a journey to find the person responsible for her sister's death. Meanwhile, she is being followed by a radio personality looking for the truth behind the sad life she's lead thus far. He also hopes to find out what happened to her sister along the way. 

A touching story of sisterly love and the lengths one will go for family.
