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.

    one of the most misogynistic books i’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. also i guessed the plot twist so early on it was absurd.
