this books is complicated. most of the characters are extremely troubled, and everything of the plot only makes it worse. seeing multiples visions of different characters is a great feature, it helps understanding the story and, sometimes, makes you want to solve the mystery yourself. Paula Hawkins may have a talent for writing surpringly intense scenes and freaky twists. even though the books has good points, the romantization of abuse and how it adresses it's characters mental issues is horrible and uncomfotable, but if you dont have any problem with this, you might enjoy it.
