now i dont like to compare books in my reviews.... BUT. this is like everything i wanted out of the girl on the train. its so good. going in blind is critical, i wouldn't even recommend reading the latter half of my review if you want to read it. i was hanging onto every word!

 overall it was incredible, tied up really well, presented good red herrings.
  i will say i found the very end "cliffhanger"/twist? kinda dumb and a plot hole but maybe id have to read the last 2 chapters again. also found that a lot of the diary entries chapters read a bit too mature but also a bit too childish at other times for a 10 year old. but it mightve been intentional
