My Thoughts: 

The Silent Patient is one of those books with a completely crazy plot twist that took me by surprise. I didn’t enjoy it that much on my first read, but when I reread it a few months later, it absolutely blew me away. I noticed so many hidden details the second time around, and it made me appreciate the story so much more. It’s a brilliantly written psychological thriller that I will always recommend to others.
