Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
My English teacher recommended this book to me. I found it intersecting, got a hold of it and started reading it. It quickly become my new favorite book.
This book has 2 stories happening simultaneously and they meet in the end. The format in which this book is written is very unique. It is told with 2 intertwined timelines so the book jumps back and forth in time. You might be confused in the beginning as 2 stories are going on at the same time. But, once you read the ending the book makes complete sense because the ending connects the 2 stories together. The ending has such a twist to it that you will never have seen it coming. The author is very creative for coming up with such an impressive ending. It leaves the reader in awe stuck.
It is a story about an artist, Alicia, who kills her husband, Gabriel, and she never speaks again.
Alicia's past events triggered her to do this. As a result of her action she becomes mentality unstable and leaves in a asylum. A therapist, Theo, finds out about her and genuinely wants to help her. He thinks he can make her speak again. But it doesn't end the way he intended as she finds out who he actually is. The entire story is rooted in jealously, cheating, anxiety and self protection. All main character have malicious intentions which leads to their destructions.
I recommend this book to anyone who is into some mystery and crime and if you want to be a little of a detective and try to put the puzzle together. I enjoyed it because of it fast moving nature which kept me engaged. You definitely will not want to put the book down untill you have read it all the way through. Also if any of you have read The Wife Between Us then this is similar to it and if any of you have not read The Wife Between Us then I suggest reading that after you have given this one a go.
