The Girl on the Train
by Paula Hawkins
A debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives.
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.
And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
A compulsively readable, emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller that draws comparisons to Gone Girl, The Silent Wife, or Before I Go to Sleep, this is an electrifying debut embraced by readers across markets and categories.

I badly want to read this book! It sounds really interesting plus the cover is gorgeous. James Frey also told us that he was reading it when he went here to the Philippines for a book signing and he said it was pretty awesome. I. NEED. IT. But sadly it's a bit pricey here in my country. It's worth Php. 635 just for a trade paperback! It's even more expensive than Colleen Hoover's books. Good thing I found this account on Instagram that hosts giveaways almost every week. (WHOA THERE HOW RICH ARE YOU BROTHA) And this week's giveaway is five books including The Girl on the Train! I really hope I win because how awesome is that?! Update: I didn't win. :(
I really, really, really want to own a copy of this book so I can read it. Why don't you buy an ebook? I promised myself I wouldn't read ebooks unless I'm really broke like nada money. I'm not broke right now (I think so) so I'm on an ebook ban. Is that even a thing? haha.
If you've read The Girl on the Train, feel free to share your review with me. I'd really love to hear feedback from other bookworms. :)
In everything bookish,
