“I spent a lot of time writing about tax and pensions and mortgages.” — Paula Hawkins Quote

I spent a lot of time writing about tax and pensions and mortgages.

'The Woman on the Train' just didn't sound as good. I'll take care next time not to have 'girl' in the title.

Once I started fighting in UFC, things took a big U-turn. After my second fight, I came home and paid my mortgage off.

Most women work not from yearning for fulfilment but yearning to pay the mortgage.
