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.
