Rachel takes to train to work every day. And on that train, she can't help but look out and fantasize about the life she missed out on. As the days pass and she begins to fixate on the couple who lives by the tracks, her fantasy is once again interrupted by the disappearance of one of the members of that perfect couple.

I will say this; I spoiled this book for myself a few years ago when the movie came out and I bought the book. I had previously started reading this book two times already, so this time I used an audiobook to help me through it.

Rachel (and everyone else) in this book are just so unlikeable. Not only that, but the romanization and rampant amount of cheating, the self-destructive characters, or the sudden 180s in behavior really make it hard to finish this book.

I did like the storyline, but I will admit my thoughts on it are a little tainted due to the previous spoiling.

Overall though, it's not that bad of a book. It was well written and I understood that these characters were flawed.
