Circe is a beautifully written, emotional story.
It covers abuse, family drama, jealousy, heartache, personal growth, friendship and love.
I could picture everything so vividly, every character and setting. I often found myself wishing I could live on Aiaia with Circe.
The end was absolutely perfect, and I felt like I had lost a friend once I finished the book.
The Silent Patient is first and foremost a VERY well-written book.
I read a lot of thrillers. The twist in this book wasn’t anything incredibly shocking to me (I started to piece it together leading up to the reveal) but it didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the book. I think the overall premise is unique and I look forward to what Michaelides will write next!
This was an easy read, but not incredibly exciting. It’s a slower paced mystery (I wouldn’t call this a thriller) and although the writing is decent, I don’t think it’s an incredibly memorable story. That being said, I think a lot of people will enjoy this one – especially if they are new to the mystery/thriller genre.
