I was left with a horribly unshakeable feeling once I finished. The first person account of Rachel's life slipping and spinning wildly out of her control covered me in a sense of despair I think. As a thriller, it did its job; I didn't have a clue where the ending was going until seconds before I got there. But overall, I can't say I enjoyed Hawkins' novel - overwhelmingly affecting all the same though.
