Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. 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.
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 offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.
When I get to the church, I turn around and walk back, striding purposefully towards home, a woman with things to do, somewhere to go. Normal. I watch the people I pass – the two men running, backpacks on, training for the marathon, the young woman in a black skirt and white trainers, heels in her bag, on her way to work – and I wonder what they're hiding. Are they moving to stop drinking, running to stand still? Are they thinking about the killer they met yesterday, the one they're planning to see again?
I'm not normal. (查看原文)
I am not the girl I used to be. I am no longer desirable, I'm off-putting in some way. It's not just that i've put on weight, or that my face is puffy from the drinking and the lack of sleep; it's as if people can see the damage written all over me, can see it in my face, the way I hold myself, the way I move.

No wonder it's called the next "Gone Girl". Also very twisted & disturbing. Will be adapted into a movie for sure.

全员皆有病系列。处于人生low点的人慎看，感觉自己就是个lifefucker，lucksucker，太丧逼了。我先去死一死再见！
