But 'She’s dead' is the reason I’m still alive.
'She’s dead' is the reason I’m going to kill a man."
This was a complete surprise - it's such a good story. I'd heard hype and even some good reviews but I had no idea the wonder of a story I would find. I knew very little going in (and you should too!) It's told through alternating POV's - One is of Sadie as she goes on a journey. The other is a Podcast narrator as he tries to uncover the story of Sadie, who months later, is missing.

What the hell? Totally lame ending, ruined the whole book.
The audio book is more like half an audio book and half a radio play. I feel like this format is perfect for this book because while half of it is from Sadie's point of view, the other is a podcast with interviews.
While all this is really well done, I can't make myself give it more than three stars because it is, to be quite honest, gruesome and depressing.
Maybe that is /because/ it feels a bit too real and... that should probably count towards calling this well done... - but I didn't really e ...more

So I listened to this whole audiobook in one day. The full cast and podcast elements combined with the narrative and one of my favorite narrators (Rebecca Soler) really brought the entire story to life.
That said, while I couldn't put this down, saying I loved it isn't the right word. Because going into it I really didn't know what the book was about. I had heard lots of generalized praise about it, and that it had a great audio adaptation, and that it involved a mystery and missing girls.

I'm so glad I came back to this as an audiobook! It made such a great listen and the story kept surprising me as I went.

This is such a heartbreaking story, but also so important. The audiobook was done fantastically. Longer review later.
