I would give this book 6 stars if I could for the sheer ingenuity of the plot and unstoppable pace. The main characters are all delightfully flawed, not least Rachel, the protagonist, who was such fun too. It was more hardcore thriller than I was expecting. Can see why The Girl on The Train is a global a best seller.

First of all, there are actually 409 pages to this novel, not 336, Goodreads. The tension and suspense has got me hooked. Seriously gripped. This feels real, like two people's diaries merged into one book, lives about to overlap. Two neurotic young women, coping, scheming.... I'd read it flat out today if I hadn't got other plans.
