The Girl on the Train- SPOILERS

I can not begin to explain how much I enjoyed this book. Even though the majority of the characters were unlikable, they were written so well!  Rachel's alcoholism made me question ever drinking again.  Well, maybe not that far but holy cow blackouts are scary.

Once I learned more about Anna, @sfgiantsjo and I could have sworn she was the one responsible for Megan's disappearance in order to frame Rachel.  This book had me changing theories left and right.  Who would have thought that Tom was the real psychopath?!!?

My mind is still wrapping itself through every detail in this book.  I love how Hawkins threw out a random piece of info during the early stages of the book (ie the clothes by the track) and it had me thinking about them and their significance throughout the whole story.

IMO, this book is way more messed up than Gone Girl but in a good way

    Right? The clothes, Andy...I spent so much time thinking about their significance. When they really had very little significance at all.

    Also - they killed Tom with a CORKSCREW. Ew. I kinda loved that he didn't die quickly and that he knew exactly what was happening to him. And also that Anna was like, here, let make sure you are dead-dead.

  • I suspected Tom pretty early on though I honestly don't know what it was that set that off. I suspected their affair right away so maybe that was part of it. I thought for sure that Anna was either in on it or covering for him somehow though.

    I really enjoyed this book. I didn't want to put it down!

    Andy was such filler! I loved it. So many people to choose from!

    And leave it to the alcoholic to know where the corkscrew is. HAHAHA

    Hats off to you @babyrn2006 ! I don't think he even crossed my mind!  I'm losing my mojo!

  • I don't think I ever suspected Tom, either. Not until I stopped suspecting Anna. At that point, Tom was all that was left!
