Either Jane is suffering some sort of psychosis or she is occasionally hopping, or rather sensing, alternate universe versions of her life. Told entirely by her psychiatrist's case notes and her own letters to her infant son. Weird and very interesting.

What a page turner… you never really know what‘s going on and it just makes you want to keep reading. I think it broke my brain in a few places - but in a good way!

A psychiatrist and his patient. The mind is a weird thing…is there a parallel universe out there? Letters used as part of the story. Makes you wonder. At the end though I felt like the patient!😂😂😂😳

Another recent read that I loved. I was unsure where this book was going, and I felt so many different emotions for Jane while reading this, but the two storylines weave together to create a psychological character study that will leave you unsettled, yet satisfied.

BarbaraBB You‘ve read so much!! This one I want to read too. 5mo

Wow. Fantastic! 4.25/5

This is everything I had wished that awful Alex Michaelides was. Jane is having a breakdown and her psychiatrist is lost on what is going on or how to treat her and the mystery keeps growing. The writing is spot on, I loved seeing everything from his notes and her journal. I don't want to spoil anything so if you had read and want to discuss spoilers below.

ChaoticMissAdventures I thought the part with the virus was so well crafted. Taking place in 2018 but with things we are well aware of from 2020 Covid was so well done - blending mystery and familiarity. I also loved how it ends with no resolution. 5mo
BarbaraBB What awful Michaelides are you referring to? I read one by him and was extremely underwhelmed and annoyed 🤣 5mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB I read 2 and hated them. The Maidens and Silent Patient. SP has glowing reviews and I feel like I read a different book! Common trash, the plot had gaping holes, the mystery was so obvious I was rolling my eyes, and I think he thinks not having ethics is edgy. 5mo

Alternating in voice between her treating psychiatrist and Jane herself, we hear Jane‘s usual story. It gradually comes together at the end in a way I found incredibly satisfying. While a very different book, I can tell this is from the same brain that wrote The Age of Miracles, which I also loved (though it‘s very different than this). I can‘t recommend this one enough!

AmyG Good to hear. I love her books. 6mo
ChaoticMissAdventures So excited! I am waiting for my copy from the library but I really enjoyed Age of Miracles too. 6mo
