Staycation

I finished this book so fast! This psychological thriller had cliffhangers every chapter.

The story follows Rachel, a recently single woman on her daily commute to work. Her mind is allowed to wander, though she can’t quite reach some of the memories from her past. Rachel is deceived and gaslit left and right throughout her life, but eventually finds courage and recollection of atrocities done unto her in the end. Warning: this book does depict some violence, physical abuse, and alcoholism.

This is a perfect weekend read with themes like: people aren’t always as they seem, downfalls of projecting personal desires onto others, and healing from your past.

Don’t forget to check out the movie adaptation after you finish reading!
