4.5

maybe i’m easily impressed compared to other people, but this was 4.5 stars for me!! i finished it in a day and had some theories, and where it didn’t fully surprise me, the plot twist connection to the killer was crazy! the explanation for the  connection for the different victims/the people in common was a little lazy, but it still kept me on edge nonetheless.

A fun and quick read, though the main character’s monologues sometimes felt a bit much. Also I didn’t think anyone who was more than two dimensional was likable. And every major character was white, I don’t understand readers who are is saying this book is diverse.

Like many others, I found the beginning incredibly boring. I guessed the ending early enough, and although there were red herrings, it didn't really feel like they got me. (And I usually get 'got' by everything lol). It kind of felt like I was reading just to finish it at one point (to get my money's worth). Although I can understand why others may like this book (if they didn't expect the turns, etc), it just wasn't for me. I didn't find the characters loveable or honestly that friendly. Alice's friends just felt like plot devices/reasons to write off her boyfriend at the time. The neighborhood people were purposely annoying and clique-y and the 'you can't sit with us' drama was annoying.

I love this book. I'm a fan of B.A. Paris's work. The previous book she wrote weren't that great. They weren't bad either. Those books weren't Behind Closed Doors level of amazing. The Therapist certainly was. I was right there with Alice throughout the entire book. And that twist. Incredible. I was left in shock that I didn't see that twist happen. The Therapist was impossible to put down. It was excellent, a real page-turner. The book was fast paced, engaging and suspenseful.
