Sadie by Courtney Summers

“A missing girl on a journey of revenge. A Serial―like podcast following the clues she's left behind. And an ending you won't be able to stop talking about.

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.” - taken from Goodreads.com

Everyone was telling me that I needed to read this book so when I realized the audio version is performed with a full cast, I had to give it a try. Boy was I glad that I did. Sadie is told from two points of view, Sadie herself and radio personality West McCray, who is making a podcast of Sadie’s story. The audio version of Sadie includes full productions of West’s podcasts and they are incredible. This book was heartbreaking and kept me on the edge of my seat. For me, the story made a lasting impact.
