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 think this author is just. . .terrible. I read The Maidens and was agog at how poorly it was written, how dumb the plot was (so many illogical red herrings), and how badly drawn the characters were. I’m amazed he gets any hype at all.
