Every story presents a conflict. Without conflict a story does not exist. What is the major conflicts presented in your book? How do the conflict affect the main characters?
In The Girl on the Train, Rachel and Megan both deal with internal conflicts. Rachel deals with her depression and alcoholism. Rachel and her now ex-husband could not have a baby. Her infertility destroys the ideal life that she had created for herself. She turns to alcohol to suppress her pain, and begins to self destruct. At the present time Rachel has ruined her marriage and her career. Similarly, Megan battles with depression. Megan’s depression seems to stem from her brother’s death. Days after her brother’s funeral, Megan runs away and turns to prostitution and later lives with an older man. Her life seems to turn around when she marries Scott, someone “normal”. Unfortunately, marriage is not enough to make her happy and she seeks attention from other men, including her therapist.
