Widely being compared to Gillian Flynn's novel, Gone Girl, and Paula Hawkins' novel, The Girl on the Train, I am here to say that The Woman in the Window does need to be compared to other books and can stand alone as its own unique thriller. This story follows a woman named Anna Fox, who lives by herself and is unable to go outside. She spends her day observing her neighbors, watching classic films, and drinking. What happens when Anna witnesses a devastating event from her window? How is an alcoholic going to prove she's telling the truth?
