I finished The Silent Patient which was on my TBR for so long and honestly I feel it’s not bad but too hyped by masses.
Theo felt like a great character with his troubled childhood until he was not anymore, at some parts I felt narration was too wanna be deep from Theo’s POV. Narration didn’t mention the timeline for Kathy and Theo’s angle and I’m glad(slightly) for that since I could see from miles away what’s happening there, so it was more about how it unfolds because you already could sense what’s behind the unfolding. It was a back n forth ride for me getting in and falling back for whole book.
The last scene again felt wanna be deep, for me personally. I didn’t hate it but it was just okay. It gave me similar feels after reading “The Girl on Train”. Not bad. But not that “must” of a read.

nothing can actually live up to insane amounts of hype, regardless of what it is. it’s important to adjust your expectations. be realistic. if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. just in general. you know.
