This book was hard for me to get into and it was quite confusing from the start... I almost DNF this book. I am usually a fan of Paula Hawkins so I was very disappointed when I reached the end of the book. There were just too many characters that I did not like and there was no wow factor.

The cover looked so great and intriguing. Once I started the read, it jumped straight into the drama and I loved it. But! As soon as the drama ended, the book couldn’t go any more slower. I lost interest immediately and to be honest, I couldn’t stand the overly detailed information that ended up being useless information later on in the read. I kept reading in hopes that it would get better but it just didn’t. The only other reason I really pushed through was to find out who the killer was. The only good thing I can say, is I really felt connected and understood the characters. They were well portrayed and understood.
