After this event, Alicia refuses to talk to anyone and is admitted to a psychiatric ward, where she is confined to her own silence. Theo Faber, a newly hired psychotherapist is determined to find a way to have Alicia talk again and tell her own account of what happened that night, and why she committed such a terrible crime...
I literally read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down. My mind was constantly spinning with the new discoveries and possible details that were discovered as the story went on. My only complaint was that the ending seemed a little rushed and I felt like it wasn't as planned out as the rest of the book. Needless to say, I will definitely be looking out for future novels by Alex Michaelides, and you should too!
