A review by lunalikesbooksss
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
This book was boring af. I would have given up if I had physically read the book instead of the audibook. I even had to listen to it on a faster speed than I normally do.
I get it, Rachel is an alcoholic, but omg she was insufferable. Constantly doing dumb shit and apologing over and over. The rest of the main cast sucked too. They were all their own brand of awful.
I didn't even feel bad for the victim because she was also awful! I only kept going because I really wanted to know who was the murderer.
The reason for the murder had me rolling my eyes. It was for such an obvious and basic reason.
Why did Rachel keep remembering things when it was already established that she didn't form memories while blocked out?! Ridiculous
