4.5 stars. Engaging story, well-developed characters. I would have liked more of an afterward.
Meh. Muy cliché y cada diálogo mal escrito y acartonado que me sorprendía (el Diálogo de la Verdad de Rachel y Anna wtf, ¿podía eso ser más falso?
No he notado ninguna diferencia cuando cambiaba de narrador y eso es preocupante, porque la autora no sabe identificar y desarrollar los personajes. Estando en primera persona me parecía difïcil que pudiera llegar a tener una escritura tan impersonal, pero la tenía.
Me da la impresión de que no ha pasado nada interesante en todo el libro, el único momento en el que he llegado a sentir algo ha sido en La Escénica de Scott.
Vamos, que me he leído el libro rapidísimo para poder acabármelo y poco más, no porque de verdad quisiera saber lo que iba a pasar.
Resumen: ¿¿TANTO PARA ESTO??

I stayed up way too late reading this book. It was pretty slow till midway through, then I couldn't put it down. I guessed the plot twist about three quarters of the way through, but was too committed to finishing it to quit.
What really stood out to me in this book is how "reality" is so warped and rewritten by the way we tell events back to ourselves; how no one but a person who has really loved us can so easily crush us; and how painful and terrible it is to live with and recover from addiction. There were several passages in the book that were close to unbearable to read. Or maybe my sentimentality comes from reading too many extremely depressing books at the same time.
I can't imagine anyone willingly sitting through a movie of this book, having read it. Though Emily Blunt is pretty fantastic.

This was okay. I liked it, I guess. I'm feeling kind of "meh" because so many critics compared it to Gone Girl, which feels so wrong. It's a mystery about a woman disappearing... and that's the only similarity. I found myself extremely frustrated with the characters for being so stupid.

got this book for the bit (being a girl on a train reading girl on the train) but it was actually pretty good! rachel is like if the girl from atonement grew up to be an alcoholic though- absolute world class levels of meddling going on here!
