"Reading this takes me back to summers as a kid binge reading R.L. Stine; not that the Courtney Summers' books are similar to Stine's in any sense, but her books make me excited to read in a way that I haven't since then. Halfway through "The Project", I requested three more of her books to binge. I'm maybe a 1/4 through Sadie, and thus far, I like it more. She writing style is concise (a bit like King's), which is my preference. However, "The Institute" was a fun, fast-paced book that I would suggest reading after "Sadie". "
"I really liked this book, it didn’t go in the direction that I was expecting, but I still really enjoyed it. I listened to it as an audiobook so when the perspectives and time line switched I was a little confused on who I was following at first, but all in all pretty good. This is my second book by the author. "
