![]() ![]() She is unapologetic and strong despite, or maybe even because of the years of abuse. ![]() Sadie’s main motivation is love for her sister and desire to punish a man who hurt them both. Sadie as a character can be seen as a result of the evolution of all Summers’ previous characters. She manages to do so in a seemingly easy way – trough the portrayal of characters and the way she narrates the story. Summers redefines the boundaries of the young adult genre, making it into something more and paving its new possible path that outgrows well-known tropes of YA literature. I will warn you – this is a difficult book to read with quite a few triggers so be prepared. McCray is a host of podcast Serial who is trying to find out what happened to Sadie after she disappeared when her younger sister Mattie had been murdered. Sadie is a novel written in dual POV – from Sadie’s and West McCray’s. ![]() Summers is no different in her latest novel. Like all real monsters, he hides in plain sight. I wish his darkness lived outside of him, because you have to know it’s there to see it. Stories she brought to life were about girls and not about romance, about friendships that were not sugar-coated versions that you could read in every Sarah Dessen or John Green book. She didn’t try to write like “the big names” of that time. I remember the first time I had read one of her novels, Cracked Up To Be, and I was speechless. Courtney Summers deserves much more attention then she gets. ![]()
