Very disappointing, completely unbelievable. The majority of this short story is taken up with a farcical trip to London with a horrendously unrealistic timeline, while the girl in the title features for barely a minute. Not a Quick Read that is likely to encourage anyone to read more, certainly not of this author's work (

This would have to be the worst novel I've read so far in the "Quick Reads" series. The plot was totally implausible and the dialogue was terrible. If "Girl on the Platform" is supposed to encourage adults to read, it has failed big time! (
