Confessions on the 7:45

Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger, 364 pages

On her Instagram page, Selena's marriage looks great — lovely house, two beautiful children, loving husband, perfect nanny. But in real life, she recently found out that her husband's cheating on her with the nanny. Unsure of what to do, Selena confides in a friendly stranger on her commuter train (the stranger has just shared her own secret, so it's natural, right?)...and then things start to unravel. The nanny goes missing, the police are interviewing Selena's husband, and the stranger from the train is suddenly texting Selena, despite Selena not sharing her number. Selena must get control of her life again, but how?

This thriller definitely lives up to the genre name, particularly as the perspective shifts between Selena, a young girl named Pearl, another woman named Anna, and even a semi-retired FBI agent named Ross. Unger keeps us the reader on their toes, despite telegraphing some twists. The un-trustworthiness of every character in the book makes it a page-turner.
