4.75

Omg, what a book.

I really liked the story, the characters, everything. It is a book that keeps you hooked until you finish it.

I did not expect the final plot twist with Theo being the one who tried to stab Alicia and Gabriel being Kathy’s lover, that blew my mind.


I really liked the dynamics between the characters, how the connections are made, the stories that lead to complete Alicia’s story.

Honestly, I am giving this a 4.75 because at one point I felt the book was more about detectives than therapists and psychiatrists on a psych ward, if not for that, it would ve a solid 5 star for me.
