I would say that, as someone who has fortunately not experienced any of the above, it isn’t gratuitous and is handled with the seriousness that it deserves. If you’re at all triggered by child abuse, including sexual abuse, grooming, rape and molestation, then I wouldn’t recommend reading unless you’re prepared. We need to talk about trigger warnings, because Sadie touched on some of the darkest and most horrific things humans do to each other. (No spoilers, but if you’ve heard anything about this book I’m sure it’s that the ending is a shocker). And that’s without discussing the ending, which we’ll come to later. If I’m honest, I almost wish there had been more chapters from Sadie herself as I loved the voice Summers gave her titular character. The audio book is presented by not just one or two voice actors, but a full cast, so it genuinely felt like a podcast with every character/interviewee having their own voice. At just under 8 hours, it’s definitely one of the quicker listens in my Audible library, but that might also be because it was so damn gripping and fast-paced, I found myself listening at all hours because I just needed to know what happened next. Sadie is a relatively quick read, especially when you’re used to 800 page epic fantasies that convert into 30 hour audio books.
