Review: The Passenger

The Passenger by Lisa Lutz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm still in shock about this book, it's that good!
My first book by Lisa Lutz and surely not the last, I read it in one go, couldn't set it down.

Tanya Dubois finds her husband dead. Instead of calling for an ambulance, as most people would, she grabs money and clothes and goes away. We soon find out she's been on the run for many years, and that Tanya Dubois is one of the many names she will use during this time.

Little by little we get to know what has her running, why and who. It's creepy to see how a 17 year old girl managed to survive all that she went through. She's not a nice person, for sure: she lies, cheats, steals and even murders in order to survive, but she's just a consequence of what other people did to her.

This is a thrilling, fast paced book. You never know what the main character is doing next and how she will deal with it.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
