Review: The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

Fives @ Down The Rabbit Hole

Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar. Now they’ll see; she’s much more than just the girl on the train…

I know I’m pretty late to the game on this one, as there’s a movie out for it and everything already. However, if you haven’t read it already, I can definitely recommend it! It’s been on my TBR for so long and I’m glad to have finally gotten around to it. It didn’t disappoint! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I enjoyed this one.

The Girl on the Train revolves around a few of the characters in the thriller. A lot of it takes place in Rachel’s POV who is probably the closest thing to our protagonist, though I struggle to really say that she is. Nevertheless we mostly follow her storyline as she watches a house day by day on her commute on the train; longing after a life she once had as she watches a couple from the train every day.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books From My Past Seasonal TBRs I Still Haven’t Read

Andge @ Down the Rabbit Hole

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I don’t know about you but I’m notorious for not reading books I have explicitly listed as high priority on my TBR. It’s a hazard for mood readers, I suppose. Something else always pops up at the last minute and takes me by surprise with my yearning to pick that one up instead.

For those of you who are excellent at keeping a schedule with your reading, huge props to you, honestly. As for me, well, here are some of the books I was DYING to read when they came out and I swore I would pick them up in the season of their release…but clearly I have not yet gotten to them.

1. Forging Silver Into Stars by Brigid Kemmerer
