The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

Waited a long time to get this book from the Library. Everyone is reading it and it's a fast and furious read about some disturbing events and characters. I would label it a "Gone Girl" wanna-be, but it's actually quite different, in the end. (USA Today actually called it "the next Gone Girl.")
It's a fast and compelling read, told from the point of view of the three women in the book: Rachel, Anna and Meghan. It's also told over the course of time, but jumps back and forth, which made me have to go back and refer to the dates from time to time. Luckily, each chapter is marked by the narrator and the date, even the time of day. Events and dates are very important in the unfolding of this story.
The last 100 pages move quickly and I had to read them in one evening; I couldn't put the book down.
In the end, I am glad I read it for what it is - a nicely crafted intriguing book about some really unpleasant women. In the end, Rachel ends up in your good graces. She's very flawed, but you sympathize with her in the end.
