[Cut to book cover] "The plot: Famous painter Alicia Berenson kills her husband. She's found standing over his body, gun in hand. But when the police arrive? She never speaks again. For six years. Nothing."
🎨 "I want you to suffer as I have suffered."
"The final twist is so well hidden that when you re-read the book, you realize the answer was on page one. Michaelides plays a sick, beautiful trick on you about who the 'patient' really is."
Dramatic, tense music.
Do not read the comments. Do not Google the ending. Just read the book. 🖤📖
"Look. You think you know where this is going. You think it's about childhood trauma or an abusive husband. It is not. "
The question is: Who is really telling the story?
Spoiler-free verdict: READ IT. But don't say I didn't warn you about the ending. 🔪🗣️
