EP161 A Twist We Didn't Expect [Needy Little Things by Channelle Desamours]
Today we sat down and discussed a young adult thriller called Needy Little Things by Channelle Desamours. This novel was full of twists and some that Morgan and Sam never saw coming. We also discussed Sam's Birthday! Happy Birthday to the best (and my only) podcast host Sam!
About The Novel:
Sariyah Lee Bryant can hear what people need—tangible things, like a pencil, a hair tie, a phone charger—an ability only her family and her best friend, Malcolm, know the truth about. But when she fulfills a need for her friend Deja who vanishes shortly after, Sariyah is left wondering if her ability is more curse than gift. This isn’t the first time one of her friends has landed on the missing persons list, and she’s determined not to let her become yet another forgotten Black girl.
Not trusting the police and media to do enough on their own, Sariyah and her friends work together to figure out what led to Deja’s disappearance. But when Sariyah’s mother loses her job and her little brother faces complications with his sickle cell disease, managing her time, money, and emotions seems impossible. Desperate, Sariyah decides to hustle her need-sensing ability for cash—a choice that may not only lead her to Deja, but put her in the same danger Deja found herself in.
