Sadie by Courtney Summers
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 meagre 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.

Review:
I cannot even begin to express how amazing Sadie is. I would highly recommend that you listen to the Audiobook version because there is a full cast, and it's fantastic the way the book is written with a podcast because in the audiobook, it really sounds like real interviews and you will not get that experience when reading the book. It really brings the story to life.
Sadie is told in a dual POV, one which is Sadie's view and the other which is a podcast that happens after the events. Sadie's sister as murdered, and Sadie goes after the killer when justice isn't given for her sister. West McCray, the podcaster, hears about Sadie's story, and follows the story to try to find out what happened to her.
Courtney Summers has created characters that are very real, the world in which Sadie lives is a world in which people live in today. It makes the book easier to relate or just be drawn to. Sadie is filled with darker themes, so be wary of that when you pick up this book.
I will say this book does leave some unanswered questions, but it is very intentional with how the author ends the book, but it works because of how this book is set-up and told. I would highly recommend this book if you are a fan of YA in general, especially if you love Mysteries. I would also highly encourage picking up the audiobook.
