The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

4.0

Read this for book club and honestly I thought it was a solid 4 stars. It reminded me a lot of the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes which is to say that it was written really well but wasn't my ~favorite~ kind of story because I have a hard time staying invested when there's no one to root for. In my head Alicia is Nicole Kidman and no one can convince me otherwise

I think this is the kind of book that just about anyone would genuinely enjoy reading so no wonder it's so popular! Booktok wasn't wrong this time
