Platform Seven by Louise Doughty

3.0

---

I did enjoy the concept of learning the end result (ghost stuck in the station) and then the book being told almost simultaneously in the past and the present. It was too slow paced for me, it lacked the pace of successful thrillers. It covered very deep topics, suicide, DV, inaction, guilt, molestation and at times it was poignant in successfully describing the true feelings of their experiences, I felt like there was almost too much, we just jumped to the next deep topic. The characters were interesting and diverse with their own bi-stories, but again I felt too many were mentioned without enough detail to a few. But over all in was a good book, where it shines is the reveal of the main characters relationship with her boyfriend. This could be a good book for those to connect with if they had more personal connection with this type of subject matter.
