You'll either love it or hate it. If you have a sharp mind, you'll easily pick up the twist early in the book. The author drags the story and then crams everything into the last few pages. In the end you're thinking "Is that it?". Not worth the read.

Absolutely intriguing if you love thrillers. It just ends too abruptly, which saddens me but your imagination is meant to decide what happens in the end. I really think there should be a volume2 of this book or rather a series, so much left unsaid

The only reason I’m giving this two stars instead of one is because it was really engaging and I was able to read it very fast because I wanted to know what happens. However the plot twist fell flat and nullified the entire story. When you read the big plot twist at the end of the book you realise that you spent all this time reading for nothing;

One of the best books I've read. Definitely buy it if you are into psychological thrillers.

It took me a while to get into the book. The plot twist was good, but it wasn't a must read for me.

It honestly is a book of which I could not predict the ending. There were some clues and hints but I did not see the plot twist coming. I am a huge fan of Sydney Sheldon books with their plot twists and I am always afraid that other books cannot live up to Sheldon's books. But this book - it dit it. The book is written from two viewpoints: the main character's viewpoint (Theo, the psychotherapist), and the patient's (Alice's) diary. However, it is not annoyingly confusing to have to jump between these two viewpoints. It actually engaged my mind so much as I tried to connect the different information from the two points of view (and, I failed to do so). Definitely an excellent psychological thriller.
