I had heard good things about The Silent Patient and wanted to give it a read and lucky me: my library offered it on audio! So I grabbed it!
This one has an intriguing premise and we have two narrators in this novel: Theo Faber and also Alicia via her diary. I honestly did not care about Theo’s life, I wanted to know what was going on with Alicia. Theo’s story did show how imperfect people can be (yes, even therapists have issues!) which admittedly did make him slightly more interesting.
Unfortunately, I cannot say much more as it would involve spoilers, but when it came time for ‘the big twist’ and a certain something that the said person did, I thought: “You sick *uck!” OMG, this book made me curse and I am not one to curse like that! This twist is what saved the novel for me and made it worth the read.
