This book was SO good. Literally from page 1, I could NOT put it down and the more I read the more I wanted to finish it! Alex is a painter who is convicted of killing her husband and sent to a mental institution because she refuses to speak after the killing. Theo is a therapist who has taken an interest in her case and manages to get a job where Alex is a patient and becomes her therapist. He is pretty sneaky in how he achieves his goal to treat Alex which is all part of the story. He delves into her life and researches her childhood as well as her marriage. Eventually he gets Alex to open up and she gives him her journal from the days leading up to the killing--which gives Theo so much more insight into her life/conviction, and begins to talk which is the real breakthrough. The end is really surprising for the most part--gripping and a shock (although, I had to take one star of because I figured it out before I got to the end of the book--but I don't think most readers will because it's pretty shocking--I think I've read too many thrillers lately!). Highly recommend this book! Well written, amazingly creepy and interesting story line with great characters! Can't wait for another book from this author!! Thanks so much to Bookish First for the ARC!!!
