This plot, and even the giant twist, pretty much exactly mirrors The Silent Patient, so if you liked that book, you’ll like this one. I do, however, think this book was better in the sense that it more climactic events happen throughout so I was more engaged and
it loops in characters from The Silent Patient, leading me to believe all of his books will be connecting somehow
. The ending wasn’t my favorite as I felt like it happened hard and fast and left me with a lot of confusion at first, but this does seem to be this author’s style.
