Spoiler
The ending/"what really happened" was pretty clear to me by about 2/3rds in, but by then I was invested in Rachel figuring it out and seeing what she would do with that information, so it was still a compelling read to the end.If I have to quibble, I wonder how Rachel does not have serious brain damage from the multiple head traumas throughout the book. Did no one put the girl in an MRI?
