- Great plot twist
- Even though I loved it, there was a feeling of disappointment when I was done
- The ending?
- A very “academic” feeling book
- Could be analyzed to pieces-so much to unpack

This book is so good! If you ignore the obvious patient/client violations, this story is so well written. I loved it from start to finish, completely dedicated an entire afternoon to reading this book from start to finish! I'm so so glad I read this, 0.25 stars off simply for the unrealistic patient/client relationship and privileges that would seriously never fly irl

The Silent Patient is incredibly mid, it’s your stereotypical thriller that starts off fine, nothing groundbreaking, but unfortunately disintegrates into this poorly written mess. I was interested for about half of the book then it just tanked completely for me.
The writing is erratic, the twist is confusing, the plot is slow and honestly boring, and the main character Theo is a dull man with white savior complex. Overall, I wouldn’t really recommend this, there are far better thrillers out there to spend you time on.

I can be a good mystery solver and the endings are mostly the same as one of my theories. I had almost 20 30 different theories but not a single one came alive. This was extremely well concluded.
Psychologically, I agreed, we are all broken!
