[b:The Woman in Cabin 10|28187230|The Woman in Cabin 10|Ruth Ware|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1465878007l/28187230._SY75_.jpg|48209164] was recommended to me by a work friend. I had been interested in the book but had not sprung on the purchase just yet, and she just so happened to have a copy that she had just finished. I'd been extremely busy with school and work at the time, so it took quite a while to read it, but had I had the time to devote to it, this book could have easily been read in a couple days. It moves quickly, and it keeps you guessing. [a:Ruth Ware|9013543|Ruth Ware|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1562697198p2/9013543.jpg] inserts little teasers throughout the book that drive the intrigue. As far as you've understood from the synopsis and what you've read, Lo watched a woman get thrown overboard, so why does the outside world believe that she herself has gone missing? Ware skillfully delves into the realm of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, alcohol-dependency, and the stigma of prescription anti-depressants as Lo tries to come to terms with what is real and what might just be all in her head. Contemporary tales are not my typical genre, but this book was a solid read and very enjoyable.
Update:
Since reading this book over the final months of 2018 and into January of 2019, I have strayed from my typical historical fiction and have begun to have a passion for contemporary thrillers and suspense novels. Would I have given it a higher star rating had I read it more recently? Most likely, no. Lo was a difficult character to connect with, as was her boyfriend. For this reason, the book was not something that held my attention or that I would be inclined to read in a single sitting. Lo could be frustrating, but the story itself was intriguing. It would make a great beach read.
