My 6th book read for the year.
I don't know the best way to start this discussion because I'm late to the party but wow…
Michaelides produced a narrative at times addictive and disturbing. It was a page turner for sure and having the book spliced up in past/present/diary segments made for a great reveal (saw it coming half way through the book I just wasn't piecing together how).
Conclusion wise I feel like most everyone gets their due course save for Alicia, I assume that plays into how it's a modern Greek tragedy. Poor girl, her two mental deaths will haunt me for a while. Max potentially having issues with Tanya due to his unspoken feelings for Alicia, Theo getting caught in the end by the diary being found.
What a statement to have Theo be the spiritual murderer of Gabriel without being the one to pull the trigger.
What were some of your favorite parts?
What, if anything, made you piece it all together before the reveal?
Would you recommend any more of Michaelides work?
Let's discuss!
