The Silent Patient Book Review
I’ve read books that contain psychological and thriller aspects before. And yet, it’s only now that I’ve read a novel that has both.

It’s The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides – a gripping storyContinue reading “The Silent Patient Book Review”

Content warning: this review contains discussions on sex and sexual assault. I’ve read books that I didn’t care that much about, but I continued as an obligation.
