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.
I totally agree, and I was left with a similar feeling after reading “The Maidens” by the same author. It’s not only the hype, I feel like both stories could have been compelling but just fell short.
If you are looking for another thriller, I really liked “the last flight” and “the lies I tell” by Julie Clark!
I didn’t mind the Silent Patient - as in it was an enjoyable read for me. The Maidens though? One of the worst books I have read in a while haha 😄
