Sinossi
La vita di Rachel non è di quelle che vorresti spiare. Vive sola, non ha amici, e ogni mattina prende lo stesso treno, che la porta dalla periferia di Londra al suo grigio lavoro in città. Quel viaggio sempre uguale è il momento preferito della sua giornata. Seduta accanto al finestrino, può osservare, non vista, le case e le strade che scorrono fuori e, quando il treno si ferma puntualmente a uno stop, può spiare una coppia, un uomo e una donna senza nome che ogni mattina fanno colazione in veranda. Un appuntamento cui Rachel, nella sua solitudine, si è affezionata. Li osserva, immagina le loro vite, ha perfino dato loro un nome: per lei, sono Jess e Jason, la coppia perfetta dalla vita perfetta. Non come la sua. Ma una mattina Rachel, su quella veranda, vede qualcosa che non dovrebbe vedere. E da quel momento per lei cambia tutto. La rassicurante invenzione di Jess e Jason si sgretola, e la sua stessa vita diventerà inestricabilmente legata a quella della coppia. Ma che cos'ha visto davvero Rachel?

I once read a book by a former alcoholic where she described giving oral sex to two different men, men she'd just met in a restaurant on a busy London high street. I read it and I thought, I'm not that bad. This is where the bar is set. oh, yeah - this one is going to be a must-read for those people Leggi tutto

"Something bad happened." Are you ready for a faster-paced, creepier Gone Girl? Woah. This is one unsettling little thriller and the best bit about it is that no one can be trusted , including the three female narrators who share the storytelling of this book. I literally read this entire novel in

I just sent a 3 page, 3,000 word email about why I didn't like this book to a friend, and I still feel the urge to express myself. I suppose that tells you just how much I disliked it. This thing is a hot mess, the writing is clumsy, there are things that don't make any sense, the characters are path Leggi tutto
4.5 stars Everyone in this book is absolutely terrible , and as a result, this book is a masterpiece in character study and development. It's also a well-written, precisely plotted psychological thriller, and deftly sketches one unreliable narrator after another. I guessed the culprit not too far int Leggi tutto
What a huge disappointment. The concept sounded amazing, and it got off to a promising...if slow...start. But it quickly turned into this messy, melodramatic story that was neither surprising, or original. Much like in Gone Girl, there was not a single likable character in the entire book. That wasn Leggi tutto
Good read but the ending fell a little flat for me
