[ Possibly my favorite book of all time ] Dante is an artistic and confident character. He enjoys poetry, as well as every form of expressing himself. I would describe him as open-minded. Dante also has a very unique perspective on life, he always seems to look at the bright side. Aristotle, on the other hand, is way more close-minded. He tends to doubt himself a lot. Talking about his feelings or dealing with words, in general, has never been his strong suit. Who would’ve thought Dante would be just what he needed? When they meet, they develop a special bond that reveals to them truths about themselves. There are bumps along the way, as it is with every friendship, but by believing in each other and never giving up, they could discover all the secrets of the universe.

The Silent Patient has the most head-turning plot twists! This is my all-time favorite psychological thriller! Alicia Berenson was a popular artist known for many great pieces. She is now in a mental asylum. Alicia murdered her husband 6 years ago and hasn’t spoken a word since. Theo Faber is immensely interested in treating her and uncovering the mystery behind any possible motives for murdering Gabriel Berenson. During her trial, Alicia was diagnosed as clinically insane, but there was way more to the story than meets the eye.

Trigger warning: detailed descriptions of acts of violence
