honestly ... was expecting more but not sure why since i found girl on the train to be just ok. spent way too much time building to, ultimately, nothing. the constant switching of povs and between 1st and 3rd person was not executed well and really ruins the reader's immersion into the plot. the story doesnt develop very much and the characters were extremely one dimensional. the last phase of the book was really, really poorly executed. next time just write a screenplay instead (this format and storyline really would be better as a film since it is lacking as a novel)
