This month is our good ole pal Josh's book! The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. I think this one is free on Spotify but the paperback is relatively cheap on Amazon and whatnot but you can always borrow a copy from someone. It is also available on Kindle Unlimited! Let us know what you think! Happy reading, folks!

The Silent Patient written by some guy
2/5 stars

I dont dislike thrillers. I dont love them either. Ive read a handful of Freida and some other unpopular titles. Average thriller rating for me is probably 3/5.

This was not good (for me). I was so bored, I kept falling asleep or distracting myself to keep me awake. Theo is lame, Alicia is even lamer. Im a gabber. I cant imagine a woman scorned who just becomes silent.

Whats the message here? Dont get married, youll cheat and become unhappy? Everyone abused, becomes a nut? The novel has an unhealthy view on mental health and childhood trauma.

Would not recommend.

Additionally, if my therapist showed up to my family member’s houses, I’d be getting a lawyer
