In a Dark, Dark Wood

This book was slow to start, and I half wanted to give up on it because it seemed like it was just trying to be another Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train. And in some ways, it was. But in many ways, it was even better. The twist at the end felt much more satisfying to me than The Girl on the Train's. I felt like the author created a better narrator/main character. Nora was much more likable but just as unreliable. I like how she began to doubt herself and consider herself as a suspect because it made Nora's confusion more real. The structure of the novel was also cool because it jumped back and forth in the timeline with no clear indication of what was happening. It was confusing at times but really represented well how jumbled Nora's thoughts and memories of the whole incident were. Overall, I enjoyed this novel a lot more than I thought I would, and found that I liked it a lot more than The Girl on the Train. This one is worth reading if you're a fan of the genre.
