Sadie by Courtney Summers is a story about a missing girl. Sadie is the missing girl who we later find out is missing because she wants revenge. Revenge on whoever killed her sister Mattie, who Sadie knows is her father. When Sadie finds out her sister Mattie has been killed, she goes on a journey that will change her life. Her story is shown through her point of view and a talk show of missing girls. Each chapter ends with a shocking detail making you wonder what happened to Sadie. Sadie is a dynamic character because everyone sees her with pity, due to her stutter. Sadie has grown up in the background because her younger sister Mattie was the favorite. Throughout the book you can see how Sadie hides a lot of what she’s been through, that many people don’t talk about. What shocked me the most is her instinct for survival in each situation and person she comes across. Carrying a knife everywhere she goes and not listening to when others say she can’t do something, she goes and does it herself. This shows what a powerful character she is. While the talk show tries to connect the clues that Sadie leaves behind, I was left doing the same. While this book talks about a powerful topic, I didn’t like it due to the ending. Also, the book didn’t get anywhere we just learned more about her past. Although interestingly crafted through two different points of view, I wouldn’t read it again.
