Best book I’ve ever read, love the twist the mystery! Can’t stop recommending it after all these years
This probably falls into the psycological thriller category which is one of my favorites, personally. This particular read wasn't top top for that genre but I still really enjoyed it.
How I Read: Physical copy 📕
📄 Plot: A famous painter, shoots her husband and then falls silent, refusing to speak. A psychotherapist who has been following the case closely since, gets a job opportunity to work closely with her as a patient unraveling unspoken truths about them both.
📖 Genre: Psychological Thriller / Suspense
📄 My Favorite Quotes:
• “But real love is very quiet, very still. It’s boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm—and constant.”
• “ We're all crazy, I believe, just in different ways “
💭 My Thoughts: this book had a very slow drag for me. It started to pick up around chapter 13, so if you want to stick it out you’ll be waiting for a bit. I tried the audiobook and couldn’t listen to the reader 😬
The plot twist is crazy I’ll admit but in my opinion it’s way too overhyped & Honestly the plot twist is what really made me dislike the entire storyline. The ending left me dissatisfied
⭐ Star Rating: 4/10 for me
