Thank you Knopf and NetGalley for the eARC of The Rachel Incident!  All opinions in this review are my own.

In all honesty, I think I am still trying to process how I feel about this book.  I ended up getting a copy from the library and on the day the book was due, I decided to start it.  While my intention was to binge read it so I could return it, I also couldn't put it down once I started reading it.

At first, I wasn't into reading about Rachel and James struggling through their early 20s.  It was stressful enough to live through that time, I didn't need to read about it in a book.  However, as the book progressed, I was drawn into Rachel and James's friendship, but also this mess that they were creating.  I had to find out how they were going to get through it.

Overall, The Rachel Incident is captivating read.  It is about trying to figure out who you are at such an tumultous time in your life.  I think it can be a comforting read for people who are also going through this stage in their life and to the people who are glad they never have to live through it again.
