Although the plot twist was pretty obvious, there are some things I liked about The Silent Patient like the style and pace. Reading into Alicia’s diary was probably my favorite part. Wasn’t really a fan of the ending though or how it felt like the book was being a little rushed towards the second half to reveal the plot twist.
