i read the silent patient a few years ago & decided to do a reread to revisit my interest in psych thrillers. just like the first time, the ending is just wow. its like even though you already know what happened but you keep going to relive the experience & value. the silent patient will always be one of my favorite psych thrillers. while its slow pace, it’s still a page turner. every page, things & secrets start to unfold - you think you know the truth, but do you really? the build up of this story is what i love so much about it because once you get to the end - you’re left speechless.

This book felt like I was watching a thriller movie, so fun! And of course I didn’t expect the twist at the end, fantastic.

Definitely glad this was my first book of 2024. I enjoyed the entire ride, from the complicated and uniquely obnoxious characters, to the pacing and setting of the story. Mysterious, moody, and unsettling.

This book genuinely surprised me which is something I’m happy about considering the book was spoiled for me awhile ago when it got popular on BookTok lmao. I was engaged the entire time I was listening and didn’t want to miss a thing bc the plot was good and kept me intrigued. One thing I want to point out is that I hateeee a cheating trope ESPECIALLY when the one getting cheated one decides to stay bc me personally, I’d sucker punch the mf that hurt me like that (but I digress.) I’m just glad that Alice ended up getting a better ending in terms of getting rid of her cheating spouse 🤭 disappointed that Theo chose to stay with that bitch Kathy at the end tho bc he even mentions at the end just how stale their life had become and she’s practically a shell of herself since Gabriel’s death even though she hasn’t outed her affair to Theo (he’s knows regardless but still). He went through all that trouble just to be unhappy with her in the end ugh. Still a good book and would def recommend to people!!

I utterly enjoyed this book; could NOT put it down!!! The "click" of the book happened earlier than it normally does in books (to me personally) so I enjoyed processing it as I read
