The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins



♥♥♥♥


I was sceptic to start this book as hyped books and I usually don't go together. I am always scared the book won't life up to it but this intrigued me. I got a copy on my Kindle and started on the journey. 

     The book follows Rachel, who goes on the same commute train each morning and evening. As she watches the houses flash by the window she spots one particular house and has a made up story regarding this house. She imagines the occupants to have an amazing life, that they love each other and all sorts of different scenarios. She feels like she knows Jess and Jason as old friends. Until one day when the train stops on the tracks next to the house and Rachel sees something that shocks her. 
     She finds out that the woman, whose real name is Megan, went missing and Rachel volunteers information to the police that she saw from the train window. The police at first doesn't believe her accounts of what she saw and Rachel somehow befriends the woman's husband, without telling him who she is. 
     It comes to light that Rachel used to life a couple of houses away from the couple that she sees each day.

The thing about this book is that you can't go into too much detail or you will spoil it for people, I loved how the story slowly unfolds and you keep turning the pages to get to the next part.

There are some people who said it was predictable, and I must say I only realised who it was just before it was revealed, so to me it wasn't predictable.


I loved this book and it was a great read, it didn't take me too long to finish the book. Will definitely look out for more books by Paula Hawkins when they come out.
