While I was not a fan of The Girl on the Train, I thought I would give this one a try. I liked it much better - but it was still just okay!

The reason her friend went "into the water" was infuriating and unbelievable. The way in which she acted and responded to people was infuriating and rude. The fact that I finished the book and wasn't upset that I did, says something for the story. This may be my last Paula Hawkins book - we'll see
