Just finished "The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides, and wow, what a brilliant novel! This thriller is truly a masterpiece.
I was completely floored by the climax—my jaw literally dropped when the truth was revealed.
The story delves deep into the importance of mental health, showing how our childhood experiences shape our adult lives and influence the partners we choose. It also examines honesty in relationships, the potential carelessness of mental health professionals, and the vulnerability of the human spirit.
If you're a fan of psychological thrillers, this is a must-read.
