With all the hype surrounding this book, I couldn’t not get it! It was the most hyped book I had seen in a while. A lot of “if you liked Gone Girl, you’ll love this” batted around…. Ummmmm, no. Just no. I hated Gone Girl, and I hated this book too!
I found GOTT to be a formulaic book, I wasn’t surprised by the so-called twist and the end, and to be honest I couldn’t even tell you what happened in it at this stage. I couldn’t wait to finish it. I passed it on, partly in the hope that I don’t have to look at it again! Harsh, I know!
Amazons description:
Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. ‘Jess and Jason’, she calls them. Their life – as she sees it – is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar. Now they’ll see; she’s much more than just the girl on the train…”
I know of a lot of people who throughly enjoyed this book, but I’m pretty sure I know a similar amount who didn’t. I guess that in itself is testament to how a book can divide opinion!
