The Patient by Jasper DeWitt
5.0

oh wow. this book was so intriguing and HORRIFYING. it definitely left me feeling slightly... disturbed? that might be too strong a word, but my point is this story had me hooked and made me feel very strong emotions.

we follow a young doctor named Parker who is determined to find a cure for the incurable patient "Joe" in a... mental hospital? I'm not sure of the correct term for it unfortunately and I don't want to come across as insensitive, so I apologise for my naivety. anyway, what Parker goes through is chilling and scary. the ending is left ambiguous, which is always my favorite because it leads to very interesting discussions.

*trigger warning for animal abuse and some mentions of sexual abuse as well
