L'ho letto in pochissimo tempo senza stancarmi; questo libro ha avuto la capacità enorme di intrattenermi facendomi rimanere sulle spine in attesa di capire come sarebbero andate le cose.
Nonostante in certi passaggi avessi intuito qualcosa, non sono stata capace di prevedere il plot twist finale, che è stato veramente ben studiato e quindi inaspettato.
Molto consigliato.

I feel a bit lied to I guess. The way the plot twist was written felt...forced? The thing about a good plot twist is sprinkling hints about it through the story, maybe I had missed them but it felt misleading the way it was written to completely throw you off the right trail.
All in all I do still recommend reading it if you enjoy mystery, suspense, and an unreliable narrator.

The Silent Patient is labeled as a thriller but it doesn’t really feel like one. I couldn’t care less about any of the characters, especially Theo, and I think that made the thrill of it not show up. Alicia was the only character I somewhat cared about but even then, I didn’t care if she would recover or not.
Honestly I don’t have much to say about this book because it was just okay. I was interested enough to finish it but didn’t really care throughout the whole thing. Only the last 50-60 pages had me captivated. Im not discarding this author yet but I’ll probably forget everything about this story in three days.
