I kind of hated every character and was hard for me to continue to read at first, but it could have been worse.

No estaba mal, pero no me ha sorprendido 

Considering that I didn't like this book all that much, I had a hard time putting it down. It is very dark and I don't like really dark books. It's about an alcoholic, and since that's something I have absolutely no experience with, it was interesting (and depressing) to see life through the eyes of someone dealing with that. The story is intriguing and there's a consistent underlying suspense that kept me reading even though I didn't really like any of the characters all that much. The writing is excellent and I would recommend it to mystery lovers who don't mind dark tales. Content warnings: sexual references (nothing explicit), and lots of F words. Sigh. I hate that. SO glad I wasn't LISTENING to it.

It was an exciting experience, but also quite predictable. I guessed the "plot twist" when I was about 40% through the book. I liked the main character, as it’s not common to see one with significant flaws and problems, such as alcoholism.

Liked it. Didn't like it. I don't actually know, which makes me really puzzled. Therefore I am not going to rate this.

This had really slow build up, I got even a bit bored for a while and then I had to binge read the rest of it. I didn't like Rachel. Or Tom. Or Anna, Scott or Megan. The characters are all awful human beings. Except Libby, Kamal ja Cathy. But still.
SpoilerAfterwards I felt like the world has no hope because everyone just sucks and cheats (with no moral at all).


I thought that the ending was a good plot twist. Then my boyfriend (who listened less than half of the audiobook) just guessed how the book will end. He guessed well.
SpoilerHe knew it was murder,
he knew who did it and why.
Left me feeling a bit stupid for thinking there was a plot twist at all. Apparently the ending was pretty predictable. I still enjoyed parts of it but I don't think I will re-read this.

Amazing

I absolutely loved this book. I would honestly recommend it to anyone who likes a mystery. Someone who can literally just throw themselves into a book because this book is honestly one of my favorites now! It written really well and it was a definite shock.

HOW DO YOU RATE A TRAINWRECK?!
A fabulous one, but a Trainwreck nevertheless.
A compelling one, but still a Trainwreck.
One you hate or love, but above all, is still - a - Trainwreck.
I don't even know if I liked it or not, despite my rating, and despite the glowing things I say in my review on Tumblr.

I cannot bear to review this again, not so soon. Just read my review of it here.

I read this in a single day! (part of a readathon)
i disliked the main character, she was just so frustrating. like if she stopped getting blackout drunk she would remember things (obviously its not that easy but ugh) and the book would be much shorter.
i predicted the ending at the halfway point? but it was still pretty twisty and surprising at the end.
Overall, good book good read (ba dum chi) (its the title of the app) but a little hard to read at points.
