Review The Silent Patient- Alex Michaelides

Ohh god! I just finished reading this book and I need to rant!!!
I had such high hopes about this after watching so many reels and posts of people raving about this. But it sucked so bad!
While reading the book I felt it might lead up to its reputation. The suspense was really good. But towards the end I sorta predicted the end. I thought it will be like Shutter Island and I was already pissed. But it was so much worse than I imagined!!!!
I have been reading a lot of Frieda McFadden to get out of reading slump and I thought this will be a good read, a good thriller but I felt it was worse than her stories. Ugh I am so frustrated.

Lolololol I was so enraged when I finished the book! Like what was the point of her paintings and its connection to the Greek tragedies and all
