Finished The Silent Patient at 3AM and now I cannot sleep

I thought I had it figured out. I was SO CONFIDENT. And then that ending hit me like a truck. Alex Michaelides is a genius and I am a fool. What other thrillers have twist endings that actually surprised you?

The slow burn in this romance was worth every page of anticipation.

SAME. I was convinced I figured it out and then... nope. Absolute masterclass in misdirection.

The enemies-to-lovers arc in this is perfection. Absolute perfection.

Try The Maid by Nita Prose next - different vibes but equally surprising ending!
