I give up. Kindle says that I have read 52% of this book, but I can't do this anymore. Generally I finish every book I start or at least give up sooner as I am compulsive, but my husband got tired of listening to me complain that I didn't want to go to bed because I didn't want to read. Tonight he said "Your life is going to be too short anyway, so don't finish the book."

This has nothing to do with expectations from The Girl on a Train; I did not read The Girl on a Train. I may never read The Girl on a Train now. (I'm not even sure I have the title correct).

Into the Water was just too confusing without being engaging. Chapters are narrated by what seemed to be 20 different characters, and it was difficult to remember who each one was and the relationships between the other characters. Every time I put the book down and picked it up again I'd forget who everyone was. The plot had something to do with a bunch of women killing themselves in the same body of water, and a bunch of the survivors are mad and pointing the finger at each other. The town cop may have been a perv or something too...... I am not sure, like I said, very confusing.
