The Girl on the Train

This book was obviously trying to be the next Gone Girl. And that's not really a bad thing, it just meant that I had very high expectations for this book. While it was definitely very well written and the pacing was good, I just wasn't very happy with the characters or the twist at the end. I wasn't surprised at all and I saw it coming the whole time. It didn't feel as clever or as crazy as Gone Girl did. This book tried to take the Gone Girl twist to a larger scope, but really, having everyone turn out to be shitty people isn't that surprising or exciting. It's kind of expected. Still, I enjoyed reading this, it definitely kept me wanting to read more, but I had bigger expectations for the ending that just weren't fulfilled.
