El otro día estaba en Netflix y decidí poner La mujer en la ventana. Al principio no estaba muy segura, pero dije "bah, no creo que lea el libro"; a la mitad tuve que pausarla y corrí a buscar el libro, porque necesitaba saber que estaba pasando.

Es muy loco como la mayoría del tiempo no parece estar pasando nada, de hecho, la "acción" se demora harto en empezar (pasadas las 100 páginas) y hay miles de descripciones, información y líos mentales de la protagonista que a mí, personalmente, no me interesaban mucho. Como punto a favor, debo confesar que no tengo mucha experiencia leyendo thrillers psicológicos, por lo que puede que sea algo común de este género (por algo se llaman así, ¿no?); además, igual fue entretenido y la historia avanzó bastante rápido.

Por otro lado, Anna es una protagonista muy poco confiable que de verdad te hace cuestionar si lo que pasó fue real o está delirando, y cuando se reveló
lo de la familia
de verdad que tuve que parar de leer por un momento, porque quedé un poco en shock.

Luego, la revelación final
la VERDADERA revelación acerca de Ethan
vino cuando pensé que se estaban atando todos los cabos y estaba tipo "bueno, ¿y ahora qué?", así que realmente me sorprendió. No sé si los demás se lo esperaban, pero al menos yo no. 

Quiero hablar sobre muchas cosas de este libro, pero lo terminé ayer y todavía lo tengo fresco y no sé cómo ponerlas en escrito, pero si dejaba pasar la reseña luego no la iba a escribir nunca. En general, lo disfruté bastante y lo recomiendo si les gustan los libros con una narradora no confiable llena de enredos mentales y problemas.

- fast paced and easy to read writing style with short chapter 
- little bit too much about her drinking, but it showed her mental state clearly  
- good plot twist, I was not expecting (author toyed with readers emotions), - but the ending was not exactly connected to the story, it could have been the ending of any story and you would most likely not expect it
- possible to see into Anna’s thought, through both the writing style and her thoughts

This book is expected and the plot is familiar, but the idea of the story is unique. The plot twist is cool and the character development too.

This is the book that got me out of a multi-year reading slump! Unexpected twists and crazy ending.

It was okay. There’s a lot happening and it happens fast. The twists are pretty good overall. Mostly, I just wanted more by the end. More character development, better explain actions, etc.
