The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
3.5
dark mysterious reflective tense fast-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I read this in two days and am now writing this review at 12:53am because I needed to finish it. Fast read. Short chapters, simple, straight forward writing. Great characters showing both their flaws and strengths. Explores a lot of emotion, topics of nature vs nurture, and had me in a hold with how information was presented. Not an outright spoiler - Only flaw to me were some character interactions that didn't really seem to have any other point besides making the reader slightly suspicious. Felt unnecessary. But overall enjoyed it!
