Publisher's summary

This book contains strong language, and adult themes that may not be suitable for everyone.

Jenny sits in the same seat on the same train every week, seeing familiar faces come and go.

Until a chance encounter shatters her world.

Sixteen years ago, Jenny survived a traumatic ordeal that left her best friend, Susie, missing and presumed dead. The world has its theories about what happened to Susie Patterson, and one of those theories points the finger at Jenny.

Now she lives a quiet life, volunteering at a crisis helpline while trying to deal with her own anxiety and the true crime fans obsessed with finding her missing friend. Then, on the way to her usual shift, Jenny is certain she sees Susie sitting in coach D.

But will anyone believe her?

Seeing Susie plunges Jenny back into a nightmare of forgotten memories and haunting fears. As the past claws its way into her present, she must unravel the truth about what happened sixteen years ago.

But the deeper she digs, the more she realises that some secrets are better left buried.

Dragged out the story. Good ending though

Cleaver concept but it took too long to get to the point. Each scene drug on for far too long. In skipped forward many times especially during the first half.

Really Great

I didn’t know what to expect. And it turned out to be surprisingly, really good.

Predictable and way too long.

The performance was stellar but the title and story wasn’t original and quite tedious for me to finish honestly but I finished it lol (twenty years later vibes and the title is too close to the girl on the train) 😢 😑

This will make a good movie!

I really enjoyed the book - it was suspenseful. I think there is a lot they could do to adapt this to the big screen.

Took too long

I really enjoyed the narration in the beginning, but as the story progressed, it became irritating. I didn’t want to quit listening until I found out what happened, but I feel that it could have been wrapped up much sooner.

unexpected twists

Even when you thought the story was complete, there were more revelations. I did not care for the main character's constant self doubt. It seemed implausible that she would not know her sexual preference until it was revealed to her by someone else.

not what I expected

storyline kept me going interested and guessing until the end.. enjoyed all the twists

Great performance, didn’t love the story

I’m not usually hung up on whether a story’s realistic vs. a bit far-fetched, but something about this one just seemed…over the top. Just couldn’t buy it. Wish I hadn’t literally bought it. Performance was great, though.

Surprising twists and turns

This book seems boring and predictable in the beginning, but it grabs you and takes you on unexpected paths searching for lost memories to save someone.

Overall good story that would be improved if shortened

This story could be greatly improved if it was shortened by at least three hours. There is a lot of filler material and very repetitive. Overall, I like the story - it would’ve been more enjoyable if they’d move the story along a lot faster.
