Review
If you are looking for something thriller, then this book is for you. This psychological thriller is written in multiple POVs. The author did a great job in presenting the POVs. Minus one only for frequent change in the time frames, but once attentive towards the headings of the chapters,it was little easy.
The characters are interesting but not all characters are likeable. Rachel is the main protagonist and seems on the train mostly throughout the story. This book can be a mixture of realities, obsession, complicated relations, and affection.
So,if you are looking for a psychological thriller and gripping suspense, just grab this book. This will keep you on the edge. Writing and language is good and has a good flow. I even saw the movie adaptations and it was quite interesting.
