Goodready Summary
EVERY DAY THE SAME
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.
UNTIL TODAY
And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
My Review
It was a really thrilling read and had my attention gripped
throughout. There was always something happening and as the story goes on we get many new revelations revolving around the characters.
We get to listen from multiple POV’s of all the main female characters
and the reader’s curiosity just goes on increasing! I suspected nearly everyone
but the revelation was still very shocking. I really liked the main character- Rachel. She has many flaws
but her thoughts and actions were genuinely kind though in real life they may
have been odd but reading them seems good. A thought passed me while reading
that if we were characters from a book then people or readers will love us for
our flaws and with them.Kamal Adbic was also one of my favorite characters because of
his job and the way he handled it. even outside his office and working hours he
was working and his dedication towards his work is amazing. It’s like he knows he has ability and so he
uses it to his full potential to help others.Also the whole concept of therapists was kinda new to me
because I didn't actually know what happened in a meeting with a therapist but
after reading it the idea seems so heavenly. Talking about your life to a
stranger, spilling out your fears, dreams, aspirations and your whole story to
a stranger that you know will understand it and won’t judge you seems just so inviting
because we can’t talk about such things freely to people we know in fear of
being judged.
On another note, there are some words which many people don’t
like to read but if you’re comfortable with them then just go ahead, grab your
copy and start reading. If you’re looking for something to keep you on the edge
of your seat then I’d recommend it
