Title: The Girl on the Train
Author: Paula Hawkins
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Summary: Rachel commutes back and forth to London each day on the train. Her ride takes her past her old house where her ex-husband lives with his new wife and baby. Rachel lost her job but rides the train anyways. She also has a minor drinking problem. Anna is the new wife and is tired of Rachel's drunk phone calls and late night stalking.
Rachel likes to make up stories about the people who live in the houses that are on the train line. One woman in particular is Jess, who lives a few houses over from Rachel's old house. One day Rachel sees Jess with a man that isn't her husband. These women's lives begin to intersect when Jess (real name, Megan) disappears.
Review: This was a great book. I had my suspicions on certain characters but Rachel's alcoholism added a sad but great element to the story. Rachel knew that there was more that met the eye to what was going on but she couldn't remember anything because of her blackouts. None of these characters are what they seem, which makes the book so great.
