Hate is a strong word. It’s more like…I just don’t care about this book. The characters, the mystery, the back stories. Sometimes in life you just need to take your own advice and close the cover. Put the book down. Move on.
I tried. I did. I made it to page 69…and then officially called it quits.
I just couldn’t get into it. It was dark, it was weird, it was boring…it was just not for me.
People on Bookstagram (Instagram for book lovers) have been RAVING about this book. Maybe if I had stuck with it a bit longer? However, my theory remains that there are too many good books out there for me to have to “stick” with any of them. I usually try to at least read 100 pages but this time? Eh.
Perhaps if the library due date wasn’t here (without an option to renew) I may have a different opinion. But knowing that I would have to PAY to keep reading??? Nope.
My son and I have lots of errands to run this afternoon and a quick stop by the library return drop box will most definitely be included in them.
I was SO excited to read this! I’ve been waiting for months and I’m super disappointed! I absolutely hate when this happens.
Peace out, The Silent Patient
Ugh.

I bought a copy of this book, awhile back, but I’ve yet to read it. I’m still curious about the story.

This book was so good! I read it in like a day and a half. The end is a little rushed but throughout it was amazing! Maybe this genre just isn’t for you.
