Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
3.0
I'm giving it 3 stars but it's more of a 2.5.
Don't expect it to be anything like The Girl on the Train.
The constant switching of perspectives would be interesting if there weren't so many characters. Too many characters. Some who are poorly defined, so it's easy to confuse them, especially in the first half. It's a pretty slow plot that isn't very suspenseful. Jules was the only remotely likable person in this book. Everything the book tells us about Nel Abbott makes it clear she's an awful person. Yet towards the end, everyone just pretends like she was simply misunderstood. For some reason that really annoyed me. Besides that the ending was okay.
