 4.5/5 stars 
 Review: I was expecting to read The Girl on the Train sooner than this. I'd wanted to read this book some time ago because it was becoming a movie. I finally got to read it now and I daresay that I was not disappointed by this thriller. I liked this book. A lot. I enjoyed it too much to even think about finding the flaws. 
 "But then I think, this happens sometimes, doesn't it? People you have history with, they won't let you go, and as hard as you might try, you can't disentangle yourself, can't set yourself free. Maybe after a while, you just stop trying." 
 Throughout the whole experience in this book, I thought that the narrative was very addictive. The author's description was very detailed about each environment that surrounds the character. It was totally easy to understand and pretty much addicting to readers. The author used very suspicious sentences at the end of every chapter where I found myself turning the page real fast. Though, there were not many conversation provided in the novel as I expected, the wordings were the reason why I kept going from the beginning to the end. I am fascinated that I could finish this book sooner than I expected. 
 This book was told from the perspective of three narrators, who couldn't all be trusted because one was an alcoholic, a cheat, and a liar. I supposed that the characters were so realistic and true to the reality and I very much got scared of people around me right after I finished the book. The protagonist, Rachel was a girl who sit on a train, looking out at the view of a couple whose life she couldn't have. She loved them and she held them dear to her heart like she knew them. Most of the time, Rachel didn't remember anything that happened because she usually drank. I thought that she was too hurt to even know what she was doing. There were some parts that I sort of wanted to screw her for not doing the right thing. She was too hung up with her ex-husband that she would go to his house so often. 
 I have been the type of girl who likes to read fantasy-and-action-filled kind of book, so I wasn't so much expecting that this book is amazing or that I'd like this book. But even without action, this book managed to get a 4.5 star from me anyway because: 1. It was fast-paced. The investigation about this girl who disappeared was led to different destination by different people. Because Rachel forgot almost everything that she did, there were no other way but guessing what happened and I loved that it proved me wrong. 2. The story was well-written and the plot was tangled, which made the readers suspicious about the crime and who committed it. I managed to get over all the violence thankfully because I seriously disgust this unnecessary action. 
 Overall: I did like this book and enjoyed and appreciate it. I was honestly surprised that I finished it really fast and I didn't regret spending every second with it.
