I’m not entirely sure how, but I guessed the whole thing at one point, as kind of a “wouldn’t that be a wild twist”? I knew who the killer was from the 60% mark, but the rest of it? Wild.

I’m not sure if I liked it? If it was good? Right now I’m at a 4 but that might change.

As a therapist, it’s wild that she didn’t see any of what was going on.

Greek tragedies bring about some messed up reading. This book was no different. Loved the way the author connected The Silent Patient and this novel together (albeit, in a small way).

The protagonist wasn’t my cup of tea but she pulled through in the long run. I guess I was more intrigued by the psychological aspects of this book. It planted some pretty interesting questions I should probably address in regards to my own perception and healing from my issues.

once I got hooked, I couldn’t put it down.

I love how characters from The Silent Patient are mentioned very subtly in this book.
