4 Reasons You Must Read The Girl on the Train

The 2012 novel Gone Girl was the book that every one of your friends was reading, and as you all passed it around to each other, you had to caution people: don't spoil the twist! That's why we were all talking about it: it was a crazy mystery with elements of murder and domestic unrest. The Girl on the Train also has both, without having a story that hews too close to Gone Girl. It's that book that, while you're reading it, you can't help but ask everyone you know if they've read it, then conspiratorially discuss it when they say yes — and demand they read it now if they say no.
