The word that best describes "The Silent Patient", in my opinion, is "underwhelming".
I was so excited to pick up this psychological thriller because it has been getting A LOT of hype but ultimately, it was a disappointment. I didn't care much for the characters themselves and had a hard time getting invested. The "twist" was so obvious and anyone who loves thrillers as much as I do saw it coming a mile away, and really, the writing just okay. The chapters were quick and punchy and I loved the pace, but in the end, I was forcing myself to keep picking it back up because everyone couldn't be wrong about how fabulous this book is, right? Honestly, unless you're new to the "thriller" scene, I don't think it's worth it.
