The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

2.5

dark mysterious medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I think if I had read this earlier I would've liked it more, but since I knew there was supposed to be a twist at the end I was looking for it and figured out

Theo was the stalker.

Then it felt like the entire story revolved around the twist and I started thinking about the whole timeline and its inconsistencies and got annoyed. No way Alicia had time to write that long last journal entry

with that high dosage of morphine running through her veins lol.

I liked the way we could piece together the story between the journal entries and interviews

and could see Theo becoming an unreliable narrator.

Sad I didn't love this as much as everyone else.
