A review by siennavds
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

4.0

I was so invested and hooked from the beginning. It’s a page-Turner and smartly written book. I didn’t see the plot twist coming at all. It felt like my heart actually kind of stopped for a moment. The last time I got that feeling was with if we were villains which is one of my favourite books. I really loved the meaning behind Alcetis and the parallels between Theo and Alicia. The ending was so beautiful in some kind of way. I can’t believe this is Alex’s debut novel. It’s so well written and unexpected. This story held me captive and it took me on a journey with an abundance of twits and turns that left me speechless and shocked. A must read!!
