Hi there!
The Girl on the Train - book that three years ago was at the top of every book ranking. Is't really that good and unusual, or it has a good marketing? I had to check if by myself.
A few weeks ago I had finally an opportunity to read this book. This story is about three different women: Rachel, Anna and Megan.
Rachel is a 32-year old woman that has a problem with an alcohol. She suffers from the divorce. She lost a job, and she constantly has blackouts caused by the excessive alcohol consumption. Every day she takes a train to London. During a trip she always looks through the window and observes surroundings. She focuses on one house where live a couple. She doesn't know them, but she is idealising their life. Rachel named them and created their story. She doesn't know the truth of Megan life and her terrible past.
Anna is a current wife of Rachel's ex-husband - Tom. There is a happiness in her marriage, and she is taking care of her daughter. She is having some problems with Rachel, because she is calling Tom and sometimes she visits them as well as observes their house.
One day everything changed. After a long night out full of alcohol and drugs, Rachel woke up and her body is covered in bruises and blood. She doesn't remember what happened last night, but after she read in a newspaper that Megan is missing, she knows that something bad happen.
Will she discover the truth? Will she stop drinking?
All of that and more you will find out after reading this book.
In my opinion it's worth reading this book. After all the love stories it's time for something else. It's a psychological thriller, full of twist and turns.
After reading it, I understand why it was on the bestseller list.
Thanks
Kasia
