Book: The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins


Book Beginning: 
There is a pile of clothing on the side of the train track. Light-blue cloth---a shirt, perhaps---jumbled up with something dirty white. It's probably rubbish, part of a load dumped into the scrubby little wood up the bank. It could have been left behind by the engineers who work this part of the track, they're here often enough. Or it could be something else.
Friday 56:
I'm still holding back, because obviously I can't say everything I'm feeling. I know that's the point of therapy, but I can't.
My thoughts: This is a book club selection. So far the two main characters Megan and Rachel are both troubled women with some secrets that are haunting them. I don't like either of the characters so I'm having a hard time connecting with the book...but then I'm only on page 57. There is a lot of book left to go.
