I finished The Silent Patient which was on my TBR for so long and honestly I feel it’s not bad but too hyped by masses.

Theo felt like a great character with his troubled childhood until he was not anymore, at some parts I felt narration was too wanna be deep from Theo’s POV. Narration didn’t mention the timeline for Kathy and Theo’s angle and I’m glad(slightly) for that since I could see from miles away what’s happening there, so it was more about how it unfolds because you already could sense what’s behind the unfolding. It was a back n forth ride for me getting in and falling back for whole book.

The last scene again felt wanna be deep, for me personally. I didn’t hate it but it was just okay. It gave me similar feels after reading “The Girl on Train”. Not bad. But not that “must” of a read.

    I read it before hearing any hype, I personally couldn’t put it down but also thought the ending was totally ridiculous

      Yeah I read this book right around the time it came out and it read like most thrillers do to me, and a lot of thrillers have ‘meh’ endings. The type of book you can’t put down but at the same time are a little ridiculous/unbelievable.
