Maggie’s Reviews > The Girl on the Train > Status Update

Rachel's alcoholism has driven Cathy to kick her out of the house. Meanwhile, Megan is having an affair with her therapist and her husband Scott is abusive. It's interesting cause Rachel thinks that Scott and Megan (aka jason and jess) are the perfect couple, despite only knowing them from seeing them on the train, but in reality, their relationship has a lot of problems.

The main character, Rachel, goes into a flashback where she gets a job as a babysitter for her ex-boyfriend's partner's child. She feels miserable having this job and suddenly quits during dinner at their house by lying and saying she found a new job. Now she has to find a job and she believes she can be anything.
