4 Reasons You Must Read The Girl on the Train

Of course, the biggest parallel between the two books is that The Girl on the Train is being adapted for big screen. Gone Girl, of course, was critically acclaimed and even netted an Oscar nomination for Rosamund Pike, and showed us a side of Ben Affleck we'd never seen before. The Girl on the Train looks like it will be the next hot adaptation we can scrutinize — it already has a star-studded cast, including Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux, that we're loving.
