The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

2.0

---

I’m sure Paula is lovely, but I have a bone to pick with her book. The plot twists were disappointing. The 3 narrators all had the same voice. There’s very little nuance, as dialogue and monologue are written in a stream-of- consciousness style in which the characters state exactly what they are doing and feeling at all times. The most interesting character is Rachel, who has about 3 personality traits. You’ll spend half of the book listening to the characters repeat themselves. But the ending is satisfying, which earned this more than 1 star.
