- Setting. This is the first, most obvious change. Hawkins’ novel takes place in London, and although it features a cast that includes Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson and Welsh actor Luke Evans, only Blunt gets to retain her natural British accent in the film’s New York setting.
- Rachel is not frumpy — at all. The film version of Rachel (Blunt) doesn’t look much different from the actress who plays her.

Book Rachel is a total mess who lost her PR job and has no interests outside of drinking, stalking her ex and his new wife, and obsessing over Megan (Bennett) and Scott Hipwell (Evans) during her commutes in and out of the city, where she pretends to go to work.
- Megan’s affair with Abdic isn’t a big reveal. Taylor offers some visual clues early on for the backstory of Megan, whose past is largely obscured for most of the book.
