The Girl on the Train, By Paula Hawkins will keep you wanting to read more and more. The book is about a girl that rides a train into London every day. She does this so her roommate thinks she’s going to work, even though she lost her job. Every day, as Rachel goes into London, the train stops behind a row of houses, but there is one in particular that she pays attention to the most: house number 15. In this house there lives a couple. She even named them, Jason and Jess. One day, as she’s looking at the newspaper, she sees Jess on the front page. Only her name is not Jess, it’s Megan, and she has gone missing. She tries to help All the while trying not to come close to her ex husband and his new wife Anna. Anna doesn't like Rachael at all and has threatened to call the cops almost every time Rachel comes by the house. It breaks Rachel's heart that someone she only knew from a window is gone.

I think the book was really good. I honestly don’t like longer fictional books, but this one kept me intrigued throughout. I like how it was told in different perspectives so you could see how the other characters viewed a situation. I think the Hawkins nailed the tone of the story. It was perfect. She used all the right words and I like how when the perspective changed; it sounded like a completely different person. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that likes mystery and to people that like to know what the other characters are thinking.
