Pairs well with: An easy red
I went back and forth on my feelings during this book but the end makes it worth it. Alicia, the silent patient, is put in a mental institution after being convicted of killing her husband. Not exactly a spoiler, but she doesn’t speak, so you have to depend on the narrator, side characters and a journal to fill in the gaps of what happened.
At parts I thought I figured it out and almost started to judge my friends who recommended it about why they thought the end was so shocking. However to the entertainment of my husband I actually gasped at the ending. It drags a little in the middle but I promise the ending is worth the hype.
