This book definitely lives up to the hype! This has an amazing audiobook. Each character has a different voice actor and parts with the podcast episodes really added to the story. Of course a Carrie retelling is always going to be good, but the twist of this story taking place in 2014, but in a sundown town where racism is still prevalent was an amazing choice. It really worked for the story and added to the bullying aspect and why Maddie was at her breaking point. The last few chapters had my jaw on the floor with how graphic and wild the story played out and how it ended.
