I thought the book was great. I thought The Silent Patient was better, it was amazing in my opinion. But, this book was also very good. I never found myself bored, and I was very intrigued the entire time. I never saw the plot twist coming, I think Alex does a good job at keeping the twists concealed until you completely stumble upon them. Mostly, I enjoy his writing style. His short chapters and interesting dialogue are what make his books so enjoyable to me, it helps my ADHD brain keep focused when the chapters aren’t a mile long. I definitely look forward to any books Alex writes in the future.
