Book Review: Silent Patient by, Alex Michaelides

Silent Patient by, Alex Michaelides

Summary: This book is a psychological thriller about an artist named Alicia and her psychotherapist, Theo. Alicia was a loving wife who shot her husband five times in the face and never spoke a word after that. Because Alicia wouldn’t talk to anyone about what happened, she was placed in a psychiatric hospital instead of jail. Theo, Alicia’s psychotherapist was eager to connect with Alicia and to get her to speak about what happened.

Thoughts: Another book with a huge plot twist at the end that I did not see coming. After reading this book, I’m very interested in the other books by this author. Also, take a look at the cover closely! I didn’t realize it until after I read it..

Criticisms: The way this book played out almost seemed too good to be true. Highly unlikely in the real world, but seemed to be the perfect pieces to the puzzle.

Rating: 4.5/5

Happy New Year!

I always find myself not having enough time to post things on here, but once again, I am going to try and update this as much as possible because I like to scroll back and see what I was doing, what my interests were, etc. at certain dates. I will probably create a 2022 photos tab as well.

I thought I’d start 2022 year off with a book review. Over the past few months, my inner bookworm was brought back out by ONE BOOK and since then I’ve been reading a ton. Normally, I try to read two or three books per month, but it’s been a little more as of late.

November 9 by, Colleen Hoover

Summary: This book is about two people named, Ben and Fallon who meet every year for one day on November 9. There are years when one person shows up and the other doesn’t (with good reason), but this book is basically about each year these two people meet up. November 9 has a huge significance to Fallon, but until she met Ben, she tried to forget the day. The story is pretty much romance book, so if you’re not into this trope, you might not want to read.

Thoughts: I am not a huge romance reader, but Colleen Hoover does such a great job of telling this story. I promise you, you will not be disappointed but you have to read until the end because there’s a huge twist!

Criticisms: Something like this would never happen in the real world. Some of these characters are almost fictitious because of how they are portrayed in this book. Also, without giving too much away, is what happened to Fallon at the end of the story borderline creepy and stalkerish? I think so!

Rating: 4.3/5
